My freshly restored '69 Mach has a 428CJ and has had overheating prob. since I got it back. I had a 4 row core rad. installed to prevent a hot engine. The thermostat has been changed 3x and now has a 190 or 195 deg thermo. The water pump has been changed to a new FoMoCo pump. The rad. has been boiled out. The rad. shop said it had only 10 - 20 deg. drop between top and bottom tanks. The A/C shop said intake manifold measured 240 deg. Rad. hoses are new. Has great water flow. The fan has a new clutch. This is an A/C car but the A/C has not been hooked up or used. Timing has been checked, car is not pinging. What else can I have mechanic try? |
