the boiling, is probably from my experience a poor concentration of coolant, they run hot enough that straight water will boil, but the mix and a good radiator cap will up the boil point to keep it in check.. also, I have had WONDERFUL luck using distilled water in my mix, instead of tap water, and this stuff is still clear months later.

Thats why I love this site... now I wish Icould find an aftermarket for that piece.

There are many vacuum hoses and connections that seem to be ok. Where do I start? What is the most likely cause?
Also: has carburetor, auto transmission, ac that is not working because of a bad switch. But it ran with that before.

i would think an internet search for steering wheel switch or combination sw might turn up something from a salvage yard for even less.
good luck.
Go to "thepartsbin.com". They have the arms for $10.41 each, but I'm afraid the combination switch is $203.00, so it's not any better. Try doing a web search for import salvage yards. Good luck.

Look for oil in the water (radiator), water in the oil (oil floats on water so you may not see it on the dipstick), loosing coolant, etc.

This seems to be a random occurence,, independent of outside temp. etc. Today, while it was racing, I pulled the air cleaner, and progressively disconnected the vacuum lines from all five of the dashpots that seem to control the throttle, plugging each line as I took them off. The engine continued to race! As usual, it idled down after 15 minutes. Anybody had this problem?
On a COLD engine remove the radiator cap and start the engine. If the coolant does not flow, bleed the air out of the system. If the coolant flows with bubbles, and/or smoke comes out the exhaust, suspect the head gasket. Replace the radiator cap and feel both upper and lower radiator hoses. If one hose is hotter than the other check the thermostat.
