AAR: "OldeChrysler" is "DeserTBob"- he is a RICER that is posing as a
vintage car buff- that's why he's so far off on everything- his "air
bubbles in radiator/overheating problem" was in fact a friggin' STUCK
THERMOSTAT, that was stuck closed. He BS'd his way out of it saying
it was the water pump. He tore the entire top end off and pulled the
pan, when in fact it was a $10 part that takes 10 minutes to change at
best.

You make the call. Read the pro-ricer links in the other threads here,
that he posted on other sites.
