RE: overheating in my '59 Galaxie

Probably need more history on the engine? How many miles since rebuild? How long has it been in the car? What you've done to it? When did the problem start? Is it using water? I'll guess and say if it's the orginal engine and has been in the car for many years and set quite a bit maybe slug has formed in the passages and bottom of the block and has caused poor curculation. I seen some so bad that the cylinder wall were at least have full of rusty looking mud. Some times their is a drain plug on each side of the block, but, years of setting can cause seizure of threads and getting them out is risky without twisting them off. Sometimes you can knock a freeze plug out and flush it out that way if you have access to them for easy installation. Really need more information about you engine to give a more acute guess. 59's are neat cars, hope you get it fixed..
This thread, so far...
