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! |

Sweet! I was going to have you measure your radiator. If you happen to get on tonight or in the morning before you leave. Measure it for me & give me a call. I am going to go by a racing place tommorow to see what they have available. Also my car does not have a themostat on the engine at all. Not sure where my gage is getting te temp? Cylinder head temp maybe?
If I don't have luck with finding a radiator I am going to at least get mine set more upright & add the cuts in the front to allow more air to come thru |
