I'd appreciate your help with a couple of cooling system questions
regarding my Formula Ford Xflow motor--
1. Am I correct that the water pump feeds coolant INTO the lower
radiator hose and the coolant EXITS at the upper hose at the head?
2. Assuming I don't have everything bass ackwards in #1, does the fact
that my temp gauge sensor is located in the themostat housing as the
fluid exits the head skew the reading compared to a sensor in the
radiator? Seems to me the sensor measures the temp at it's hottest
point, as opposed to after it cools in the radiator.
3. If I'm correct in #2, how much higher do you reckon the reading is
at the head than at the more normal sensor location in the radiator?
Please advise.
Thanks.
