I know it does not sound like they go together right? Yesterday i replaced the radiator in my 90std with a new one. The old one cracked at the top and shot coolant all over everything soaking the distributor and the whole front of the motor. I ran out of light last nite but i will check when i get home to see if ti got any coolant in there. It idles real rough now and didnt before and it smells like its loading up with a bad gas smell in back coming out of the exhaust. At speed it runs ok its just first gear and idle. Does this sound like a wet distributor to anyone? I know antifreeze will not dry up and evaporate like water so im hoping thats the problem. Any help is appreciated.

 

Might be a dumb question, but did you flush, refill and bleed all the air out of your coolant system after replacing the radiator? If your gaskets on your dizzy are good, you really shouldn't have any leakage issues. Any CELs?

 

yeah i bled it. I havent checked any codes yet. Got dark on me yesterday and i work on my car outside

 

Check to see if you got any in your spark plugs. Blow any liquid off with compressed air.
