Blew the head gaskets again on my way to work sat morning. Im so down on my luck right now and don't know what to do. The air dam and fan shroud would not all of a sudden cause the car to over heat even while just idling, but will cause it to heat up more than usual especially while driving at high way speeds. The water pump doesn't leak but could be an issue but im sure the radiator is bad. At idle the temp increases all the way up to 220, if I run a hose down the radiator fins the temp drop to 160! None of this matters now that the car is blowing white smoke out the tail pipes and I have no ride to work any more!! O and no computer system, the motor is carbed and after dyno day I upgraded the fuel pump and lines, was planning on getting the carb tuned soon but everything is going to be put on hold for god knows how long. O and the new catback was put on welded up alogn with the hole in the ypipe, stopped the back fire too but didnt seem to make it run any better.
