I have an 89 Capri with the infamous 90 L-Drive, but what I really want to understand is the engine. Installed tell tale, rebuilt carbs, all is well except it won't idle after running a while. I'm very afraid to blow it up by my own stupidity, so my questions are:
- Ran for 40 minutes with no engine cover and it was cold to the touch. Tell tale was only dripping, which seems odd since it's on the feed side of the thermostat. Mecahnic said any water out of it means it's fine, but he's been wrong before. How do I 'really' know the cooling system is working right?
- Can I test the overheat alarm to see if it's good?
- What's up with the idle?
