A nicely hopped up motor is a thing of joy, but it puts
out more heat. The Kenlowe fan helps in town and
the oil cooler below the rad is vented and helping.
I took out the mechanical fanny.
I also installed an inlet like for the heater on the carb
side to supply cool air to the Weber. Am I stealing too
much air from the standard crossflow radiator?
There is a blanking sleeve and the bypass is blocked.
I can try a larger water pump pulley to slow the flow.
I run coolant to the heater core at all times so circulation
to number four is good, but I don't want as much heat
as this 1275 puts out.
A neat trick might be to somehow alter the heater
so, when you want, the heat is vented directly out
of the car, utilizing the heater core for cooling when
you don't need heat otherwise. Maybe an MGB-style
vent atop the cowl? Is this a high pressure area or
might it help siphon air thru the core?
I run a little water wetter and about 1/3 anti-friz.
No leaks, so the pressure cap at 15# is helping raise
the boiling point.
Wot am I missing?
