about 20 minutes or little less

Do you still have the condensor coil in front of the radiator? That was my problem. 20 year old condensor coil had too much dirt in it.

i do but my ac works great

 

[billmustang91]

My AC worked fine, but the condensor coil had so much dirt on the outside of it that it was like driving the car with cardboard in front of the radiator

you cleaned it or replaced it?

 

[billmustang91]

I took it out. Too much dirt in it to clean it. I will put a new one in when I get the funds. I would have to take it out anyway to get most of the dirt out.

Is the radiator cap new?

 

[dsblk93gt]

No air in the system? Did you let it run for awhile with the cap off? Is spitting coolant out or just hot on the gauge? This may sound dumb but how is the belt routed?

never mind update head gasket is shot just an excuse to upgrade heads and install the charger winter build
