RE: overheating in my '59 Galaxie

This may seem way too simple but how do you know that water pump is flowing well? A few years back I had a similar problem with a 428 CJ. I had it pro rebuilt and I had the water pump bearing checked by the "Pro". He said the pump felt/looked good. Should be fine. I tried everything and could not get it to run cool. In desperation I took the C9AE CJ water pump off and just through a spare on from a '66 390. An old small impellar thing. Whoa! She ran cool from that day on!
There was no noise, or leaks from that CJ pump. But obviously inadequate flow. So before you going tearing the heads off to check out those head gaskets.......maybe try another water pump? PS - thanks for the link to 59Ford.com!! What a great site. That one's bookmarked and I'm goin' there often. Including '60-'64 is right on! But I love every year from...well I can't think of a pre '65 Ford I dislike. Your story on that first '59 is hilarious. Six banger with a hood scoop. Those were fun days indeed.
This thread, so far...
