'81 RUNNING HOT???

["Dick Benjamin" <DickB@xxxxxxxxx>]

Read in the IML archives about cleaning out your block by removing the core
plugs.  It's a messy job, but essential if you want your car to run as cool
as it did when new.  You'll have to buy a coolant filter to catch the crud
you stir up doing this, but they're cheap, and will prevent transferring the
loose bits back into your radiator!

> Hey Guys,

>         My '81 Imp is a factory carb conversion.I live in Las Vegas and
the temp here gets to 120 degrees sometimes.But even on the cooler days she
runs hot.When I say hot I mean 210,220,230.And forget about A/C.
> NOW:the cooling system is new.The radiator is a new 3 core,new water
pump,new thermostat and housing,new H.D. fan clutch,new belts and hoses.The
thermostat is a 160.I have an Stewart Warner gauge set up and it's accurate
to the T.I had the cooling system power flushed and the Antifreeze is 50/50
and clean.HELP!!!!!I am to the point of parking it and taking it out in the
winter only.And help would be great.
