  • Bad Gas and radiator problem.

    I made the mistake of putting in cheap gas and now i have nothing but problems. I get smoke, bad acceleration and a clogged fuel filter. i want to change my fuel filter but it is almost impossible to find it in stores. Is it possible to replace with another kind and what kind should i use?

    I replaced my radiator with a new one about a month ago and the fluid keeps getting pushed to the overflow and the overflow keeps spitting it out so i run out of radiator fluid. i have no leaks and the fan works. Whats up with that?

    Did you replace the radiator cap as well? If not maybe its bad. Or if you did possibly you got the wrong one for it.
    A quick search at Rock Auto turned up nothing as far as using a fuel filter from say a 323.
