So my buick 215 is getting to hot. I wasn't sure how accurate my gage was. On my way home from Parts obsolete swap meet on sunday it was in the mid 90's. My engine temp got up to 230 but seemed to be doing okay. Then it started cutting out on me. I pulled over to let it cool a it. After a good half hour I drove the rest of the way home. Engine temps were still close to 230 though. I have an old school setup I think.
My question is what radiator setup are you using? Also what engine temps are usual for you? Just trying to see which way to go. I'd like to make it better without forking out another grand for renegades new setup right now. Suggestions please! |

man...is that radiator pointed down and where the AC condensor used to be?? If thats the case, you need some CFM to cool that baby down.....especially where I live from all the radiated heat off the asphalt!
Also any better pics of your overflow setup? The thermastat should set in the housing of the elbow where your radiator hose enters the block... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Michael |
