Car runs great, I think it is running a tad on the warm side. Also, when it is running warmer than normal around 210 consistently, I notice the Voltmeter goes to max. If I shut it off, it goes back to normal and when I restart the car it stays at around 14 volts but when I rev the motor it runs back up to max again. Any ideas on what would cause that? It just started doing it when the car started running warmer than it was, it used to run at 180 to 190 but now it's up to 210. Anyone know what is going on?

I just replaced the header gasket with a new one and now my exhaust leak sounds worse, I think I need to change the flange gasket as well.

Scott,

I used a aluminum gasket with graphite inserts around exhaust port on my installation as recommended by several small block gurus in my area. This was the only engine with headers I ever ran that did not leak.

Looks like your on to something with that alternator and would take care of that issue before doing anything to the cooling system.
