Basically the only car and temps you should be worried about are YOURS. As long as you're not losing water and/or boiling over and under about 190 consistently you're GOOD. Most people with a temp gauge use the upper neck with tapped boss. Motometers are not reliable. BEST method to ck temp is with a point and shoot thermometer. JMO and FWIW.

Thanks Paul, I have gathered that from the responses I have received.

I do have that outlet snout with my temp gauge sending unit attached and a hand held point and shoot thermometer.

Kind of a mild slam, Mitch. But it got me to thinking, how much valuable time did it take to get over 10,000 posts on Fordbarn? Gotcha!

I have an early 28 sport coupe, 300 miles on a rebuilt engine, rexaco repop guage mounted in upper rad hose, car runs 190 at 45mph, completely stock gearing, stock 2 blade fan, and ignition timing checked with a timing light. Temp climbs to 200 plus climbing a steep 2 mile hill. She's running cooler and cooler as the miles pile on.

10,000 posts does not make anybody an expert and does not give them the right to slam other members. You have done that more than once in this thread alone. Maybe it is time you were reported?

My request for a water pump photo was to "denis4x4" and not you. Butt out.

denis4x4 · 12-10-2016, 03:54 PM

Dennis (with two "n's") this is a 32-36 ford V8 pump. Finally had to replace it this year and ended up hogging out the adapter so that the impeller would spin freely. Chinese!!!

If you were looking for a private response it would be best to PM the individual, as posting it to a public forum its open game...

(ROLLEYES) not sarcastic

Denis, Is there an advantage to running a V-8 water pump? Just curious, from a third Dennis.

Thank you. I am working on a modification to the stock Model A water pump to make it easier to remove with the radiator in place. Your method of locating the temp sender is a good idea. I was wondering how you handled the hose being so close to the radiator in a stock Model A, but I see that you had the freedom to relocate the radiator forward. It all gives me some ideas though. Thanks again.

It doesn't. Neither does 3054.

mike657894 · 12-10-2016, 09:42 PM

use coolant then you can smell it when its hitting the ground. I dont see any cars with fan shrouds that would drop temp. if your car is overheating you probably have problems to be addressed.

Basically it doesn't leak like an A pump! Too, it's easier to R&R.
