So your 7 up and running now kstout? The prev owner of my 7 installed some fuel killswitch, which supposedly prevents flooding. It's just an annoying extra step when starting the car. It's hit or miss.

Kstout, If you are in need of a thermostat housing I have one for an FD, not sure if its the same.

FC's flood easily. A fuel pump kill switch is a good idea but kind of a pain. I would definately try and get the TPS adjusted as it will make a huge difference in how the car runs. IF you need help with the car let me know and I can try and help you out. Be best if you could bring it to my place but not sure if you can get on base housing with it. My weekends are usually busy having a three month old son but I am willing to help if I can.

I would PM SLUMDOG7 about getting a stock radiator. I know he has a stock T2 rad (assuming it fits) floating around since I sold him the car.

the only way i know how to check if the radiator is good is by pulling it out and running a hose from the top and seeing if it comes out in any places. but thats my theory though
