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! |

I know my timing is off some. Wouldn't be surprised if my carb is not quite up to snuff either. I will start with flushing my radiator & replacing the thermostat. Assuming my water pump is god I will move onto timing & checking my carb out. I will definately be replacing my current setup eventually. I think I will end up with Renegades newest setup. It's a proven system & I am just not that confident in my ability to customize a setup. I'll see what my buddy with the shop says. I'll show him some current setups & we'll see what he thinks. I will definately show him this link.
Kind of strange on Renegades site I can't find their radiator setup at all??? |
