RE: cooling system questions, what are u guys using

What my ’62 Poly runs up here north of you in Washington:

Stant lever release #10239. Stant recommends 13 psi – look up your app here – click on the line to see a picture of the cap:

Flow-Kooler water pump + 180 degree Robert-Shaw thermostat. Flow-Kooler recommends Robert-Shaw thermostats:

Prestone extended life 5yr – should be able to go the 5 years – car sees a couple thousand miles a year if that...........

Radiator: “Desert Cooler” aluminum 2 rows 1” tubes 14-16 fins per inch (Classic Industries MB2352A – US Radiator AL035037ANDZ)

Aftermarket over-flow tank.

Shroud would be a good idea, have not worked that up yet............

as to the cap he actually said 10 (OR) 12. he said 16 was too high on a recore with 50 year old tanks.

10 is too low. Use a partial-pressure cap. 13 at least.

180 is what the Mopar engineers called for back in the mid 1960s. Stant is an old brand. I don't know if it is still good (made in China?).

The traditional green 50-50 coolant mix still works. Just don't leave it in there forever.

There are some links on the Tech page. Search for "Chrysler Cooling Systems".
