Engine bay explosion, oil, coolant, the works

On the mountain driving topic... while I won't spin mine to 4,500 rpms on the highway, I do go to 4,000. I stick to the right lanes and try to maintain 55 mph when on the highways in the Colorado mountains. Mine's a 5-speed, and I find I have to drop from 4th to 3rd to get the rpms up enough (up to 4,000) to get the speed back up to not be the slowest vehicle on the road, then go back to 4th for as long as I can. My rig is way overweight and almost re-geared to stock (it's a touch under what is needed, so that doesn't help), so it's a struggle. Having a dizzy motor is a help, as I have the base timing bumped up to help with the power loss and find that I'm not downshifting as much as I did with the base timing set to stock.
