RE: 1962 390 4v in Thunderbird
By Skip C. - 06/08/2001 10:44:28 AM; IP 192.58.199.176
I have a '66 T-bird with the same tendency to overheat. On a 90 degree summer day mine runs hotter & hotter going down the highway (the faster I drive the quicker & hotter it gets), but hasn't boiled over (yet). When I stop the temp spikes up briefly, then goes down to where the needle stabilized at when the thermostat first openned. I've tried 160 & 180 with no change in pattern. A high flow 160 delays the temp rise, but it still happens. Water Wetter worked better than the high flow thermostat AS LONG AS THERE WAS NOT MORE THAN 25% ANTI-FREEZE IN THE SYSTEM. Hope this helps someone, Skip
