| 1965 390 Overheating problem |
| By Jim - 08/28/2000 3:03:51 AM; IP 209.210.132.33 |
I have an odd problem. I purchased a 1965 Ford Galaxie with a 390 4V a couple of years ago, and it has always had a significant overheating problem when it idles for more than 15 minutes. Temp would excede 220 degrees if I didnt stop the car and allow it to cool off.
Ive had the radiator rodded and cored, and replaced the entire cooling system. (no leaks, etc.) Ive also completely overhauled the engine (.030 overbore), and added a fan shroud, larger fan, and electric "puller" style fan. The car is tuned properly, runs well, and has over 150 pounds of compression on each cylander. Im honestly at a loss to explain this problem, which makes the car undrivable in afternoon traffic.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
