Re: Flathead running cold
I'm back at the model A flathead after a short hiatus. Have the thermostats ready for install but decided now that it's warmed up a bit here I'd do an extensive around town drive. Well the temp guage hit a steady 175 degrees and the car seemed to respond favorably to stretching it's legs. However when I shut it down the overflow line from the underside of the radiator cap blew coolant all over the garage floor. Ok now what gives? Can't be running too hot! This is a new rebuilt engine,water pumps and radiator. I can't imagine installing 180 degree stats would help.
