Re: Over heating




I have a nice seven blade fan I will not be using if you happen to need one.

For what it's worth.... I'm travelling the same path with
my 64 Sport Fury 383. Within 5 minutes of starting and
driving, it's running at 210 degrees F in 60-70 degree
weather. If I stop, it immediately starts climbing into
the 120s. I can watch the temps go straight up on my
infrared gun. It ran hot before, but since finding it had
no thermostat and putting in a new one, it's a lot worse.
It has a new 180 degree thermostat. I had the system back
flushed and the tech said it was actually pretty clean.



Not being a guy for incremental solutions, I'm going to be
doing several things this weekend:



* Replace missing fan shroud

* Replace missing air dam

* Replace missing hood-to-radiator gasket

* Install correct fan and clutch fan

** Install "Cool Cruising" high performance water pump

** Install "Cool Crusing" 160 degree thermostat, per their
recommendation.



Now, if this doesn't solve the problem, I think I'm looking
at three things left:

* possibly bottom radiator hose is collapsing, restricting
flow.It seems to be really stiff, but they don't come with
springs in them anymore, so maybe...

* New radiator, although the radiator shop thinks this one
is fine

* Take the engine apart and see what's blocking flow



Now, it could be that my water pump is just going bad on
it's own and putting a stock replacement in would cure this,
but my experience with water pumps is they generally make
noise or leak when they start going bad, which this one has
not done.



I'll let you all know if this works. Suggestions from you
guys are ALWAYS appreciated.
