Default Re: No Thermostats

For what it's worth my Avatar '32 has a '33 engine which was rebuilt circa 1972. It has no thermostats and runs at about 160. In stop and go traffic and at prolonged stopped conditions it will rise to around 180 and then the old radiator will show its age (dribble). At some point in its life the fan blade scarred the radiator and caused a leak when warm. This car doesn't get driven much and sludge is not an issue.
