RE: overheating in my '59 Galaxie
By Linden Johnson - 02/23/2001 12:32:31 PM; IP 64.4.88.214
I want to Thank all you guys for the great advice, believe me..........I have heard alot of it, and it is all good, it just seems I can't nail this one. here goes again:
I bought the car in Springdale AR from Jerry Miller restorations, he told me that the engine was overhauled. I drove it home (1100 miles), with no heating problem. I proceeded to take the car apart to restore the body which took me four years. In those four years I did the following to the drivetrain of the car:
* installed a '64 Cruise-o-matic w/vacuum modulator
* installed 4 barrel intake and autilite carb
* installed factory A/C system
* changed (2)water pumps
* installed a new 3 core rad
* made a fan shroud
* installed 5 blade fan
* replaced 14lb rad cap to 7lb on advice of rad shop (he said the tanks can't handle the 14 lb cap
The car pukes after I turn it off after a drive in very slow traffic, it seems ok if I keep driving at 30-35 mph, but when I slow down at a few lights, the gauge redlines! I think that I will dial in this incorrect damper this spring in order to get the timing "right on", also try the 14 lb cap again.....................unless somebody has a better idea. Thanks again to all..........greatly appreciate all the help, also appreciate the comments on my website.
