I have a '77 B with a new engine. I replaced the radiator w/a unit that has
been pressure and flow tested. The sensor for the fan was covered and solder
closed. I put in a 165 degree thermostat. The sensor in the thermostat
housing has been replaced. There is a Hayden electric fan that runs
constantly as long as the ignition is on. I installed an oil cooler also. The
radiator cap is new, water wetter and a 50/50 coolant mix is on board. Air
temperature outside today is about 72 degrees. Timing appears to be dead on.
I had a similar problem with the old engine.
The problem that I am having is that my temerature guage slowly climbs to
near the red portion. It has not reached the red, but is too close for
comfort. I am concerned because I don't want to hurt the new engine. Does
anyone have any clues?
Thanx.
