- Ebony and I had fun and games this morning when she blew the fan belt and overheated (funny, that). Situation easily fixed and all appears well in the world again, though it was nice to have a midget

- With regards to the thermostat, the common consensus is that removing the thermostat completely is a bad thing - supposedly causes overheating of the rear cylinders. However, you can either install a

- When running without a thermostat, you should use a special blanking plate in its place. This will force coolant to the year of the cylinder head keeping the whole thing cool instaed of just #1 cylin

- Just out of curiosity, What temp range is "normal"? What is too high? My '62 with the 1275 has been showing 180 ~ 200 depending on what I'm putting it through. It hasn't boiled over or released any c

- Supposedly, 190 is a good target temp. Water boils at 212, but the antifreeze and the fact that the system is under pressure raise this boiling point. Ulix Ulix __/__,__ .............................

- just in case there is any confusion I would add that the boiling point and the temperature are not the same thing. The boiling point can increase as Ulix details and also according to how much the co

- Eddie, Change the thermostat. (Even if it's new). Try this first, it may just solve your problem. Gates makes a very good thermostat, which you can get at your local NAPA. Kevin V.

- Kevin, Sorry for not getting back to you for a bit. Thanks for the advice. I tried that, but unfortunately no dice. I did have a 180 in there. NAPA gave me a 195. Ultimately didn't seem to make much
