Simplest to eliminate/diagnose would be the thermostat so that's where I'd start... feeling the lower radiator hose which will stay coolish/warm until the t-stat opens, then get hot pretty quickly. If, when the engine gets hot, the lower hose isn't nearly as hot as the upper hose then the t-stat hasn't opened. Can't imagine that a missing heater would make any difference. Geo Hahn 59 TR3A |
