yeah its me again, heres the background on this problem. it has overheated since i have had it. i have never really dealt with it because i was just pulling it in and out of the garage. well im wanting to get it going, so... i have replaced the fan, water pump, and thermostat. the radiator is good, i believe. it gets to temp and starts blowing water evrywhere. i have no idea where. the hoses are tight, and it turns into steam before i can find out the leak. when i try to put water into it, it doesnt want any, when i know there isnt any in there. it sounds like blockage to me and a split lower hose maybe, so how do i unblock it? when the water pump was out, it looked nice and clean in there, and i can blow water through the upper radiator hose with my mouth so it comes out the thermo housing. sounds like it should not be clogged. also, there is a little machined hole in the water neck that fills up with water when the engine is on but it doesnt go all the way through to the water passage. this car loves to try my patience, but it will run. and run well. sorry this is so long.
