Fix your cooling problems..i did :D
Well, after 2 and a half years of fighting with my cooling system i think i got it nailed....It only overheated on the highway, it could be 110 degrees, and it'd run fine....so for those of you who are having problems, here's the steps i took and i think it worked:
1) Installed chin spoiler (make sure you have this)
2) Mr. Gasket balanced Thermistat ( I have been using those NAPA thermistats for years, and always would run well above the rated temperature,this made a significant change in performance)
3) Installed all new radiator support and shroud seals (my seals on the top and bottom of the radiator core support were missing, as were all the seals on the fan shroud)
4) Had radiator completely tore down and rebuilt. Just got this done, and i found out the radiator was 40% clogged!
5) next step is the dual 11" spal fans, this summer should go heat free :D
Hope this can help someone, overheating can be a HUGE PITA :boxing :mad
Its finnaly in the 60's here, going to get it all back together and see
how lars' kwikcurve kit works! :D
