New repu guy w/omp?
Hello all, new to the repu scene and already having fun w smog exemption (ca). In the process of updating the fuel system, and switching to premix. I replaced fp with a holley red, fpr and inline gauge. I do not know much about the motor, but I know i do not have the orig housings in the motor (new mazda logo not old) and the p.o. did not know much about what had been done to the car prior to his ownership. What i am wondering is do I have a 12a front cover or something because my omp looks just like the one I took off the 12a not like the others i have seen on t2, rew, or even se 13bs, or is this how 70's omps looked? Trying to get a block offf plate and hoping you can help and here are some pics of the omp and then random ones of the carb and motor just because it is clean right now and i gotta show someone. Thanks in advance.

First of all, you must get a fan shroud. That will do more for your cooling than anything.
I would suggest you take it to a radiator shop and have it rodded out and boiled. If you're really worried, have them re-core it with a copper/brass core with a higher tube and fin density.

Thanks and your right about the shroud, but I figured the shroud was hard to find so was going to get elec fans with a new radiator. Summit has a bunch around 12x 26 or maybe a pair of 12"ers.
