Excessive Heat Warning

[1970 cuda Joe]

Something I've never figured out why people do it. When a car is overheating, shutting it off and walking away. Instead of opening the hood, let engine idle and keep the water circulating.

Yep. That's what I did when it over heated. I brought it in the garage, opened the hood, turned the pedistal fan towards the engine & let it run for for a few minutes.

I've spoken to Bob at the rad shop you guys recommended. He indicated the rad I have, which is from Classic Industries, will work good in most states. Az is not on the list of most states

More tuning will be done today & we'll see what that does for cooling. I'm still thinking shelling out the big garbonzos will be inevitable....Joe

I don't think I've seen any negatives about Glen-Ray.....Joe

The radiator that was in the car was a US Radiator, sold by Classis Industries. I rec'd the new radiator from Bob at Glen-Ray. Once installed, the Glen Ray radiator took about 3/4 of a gallon more coolant. The last car show I went to was at Larry H. Miller Dodge, which is about 10 miles from my home. All stop & go driving through town. The temp gauge never went above 1/2 way, which is 200 degrees (measured). I will also note that it was 103 degrees in the shade when I left the house at 3pm. I would have to say what Bob sells even works in southern Arizona. He did build mine a little different because of where I live....Joe
