Help! 350 small block got hot and turned off now wont start!
I recently purchased a 1985 cutlass supreme wit a 350 small block. Dont really know too much about the engine except it being out of a 1972 corvette and Holly 4barrel carb, weiand intake manifold. I forgot to turn fans on omw home and pulling in the driveway i noticed the temp was up and car shut off at that same moment. I turned fans on so it can cool off a bit. left about hr and a half be for i tried to start it but no luck. The engine turns and oil is clean(Changed oil 3 days before). Sparkplugs are dry.(changed them while i checked them so they are new now.)Radiator full and engine blew no smoke. Also noticed my rpm gauge doesnt move when i try to start which it ussually does when i start it up. Engine was in pretty bad shape when i bought car a few weeks ago from sitting for over 3 years.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
