Message:
I'm replaceing my 97 318 with a rebuilt 318 of the same year. I had a machine shop go through it and built it up for me. It is still all stock but for gibson headers. The problem is that once I fired it up for break in, the headers started to glow. And in chasing that I found that the temp gauge does not work and the motor dies coming down to idle. Timing is good and there seems to be no vac leaks. Help!

Fuel delivery is off. Probably too lean.
