Yeah I've been DD'ing it since I got it back together. I'm at around 500 miles on the new engine. My only complaint is that I originally used a 190* thermostat which left my temp needle about 3/4 of the way up. I switched to a 159* thermostat and now it runs a little too cool. It performed better when it ran warmer but I'm afraid to let it run that warm once it starts hitting 100* here this summer. I'll probably try to swap it out soon for something between the two temps.
Maybe the 190* just needed to break in but there were times it would peg the gauge and I'm not cool with that. I'll try a 180* and see how it goes. It's too cool to be performing at it's best as-is. I do know that.
Also how is your radiator's condition? 1967 model old? newly replaced or at least cleaned out?
I had it boiled when I got the car three years ago. It's been flushed several times since then. The car runs cooler than it should so I'm not worried about the competence of any of my cooling system parts.
I don't remember. I forgot tooI keep forgetting too. Was it the fronts or rears I forgot?
Looks so good rolling too! I spotted your car on ig #volvo122
Pretty sure my car was this color originally
I tried to fit some new 5" diameter 350lb. springs yesterday...
but they were too soft and didn't work out...
