RE: 1962 390 4v in Thunderbird |

I have to agree also with paul and Craig. Over the past ten years I have tried to eliminate a potential over heating problem with my '62 t-bird. The block and radiator been boiled, new pump, cool themostat, no thermostat, added five point flex fan and so on. Still had the temp rise high after 1/2-1 hour drive. The only thing that gave me some relief was a product I added to the antifreeze called "waterwetter". Came in a pint bottle. The color is pink. It seemed to help the system to cool down faster after getting out of traffic....The only reason I went back to a 180 themostat, was if the themostat is always open, the radiator does not get a chance to cool down the antifreeze before it re-enters the engine...Good luck. |
