My 66 coupe with a 289 doesn't overheat. Stays right in the middle. It's the originalt thermostat, radiator, no shroud or anything.

 

Then, you are one out of a hundred that is lucky. Do you have AC?

 

I think he is in Israel.

 

I really am from Israel..but it doesnt make any diffrent its still hot in here

I've chked it out and I have changed the ressitor that goes behind the gauge and its okay now...I think that was the problem.

The question is now Will I stay with a 5 blade fan ? or should I change it to 7-8 blades?
Should I install shroud ? should I take off the electric fan ?

All of these seems like helping cooling down the engine, but, Do I need them ? I would like to hear what do you guys are having under you hood.

Thanks much !
Eran.

 

Why would you want to take off any upgrades to your cooling system? Leave then on and enjoy a cool ride.

 

yeah, I think I`ll keep them, I`ve just wanted to keep the original way but I think it wont work that way...

( The ozone layer must have been change badly since the 60`s..)

 

To anwser you question soaring, my car has no AC, it doesn't have anything on it really.

 

What? No engine or tranny? Dang boy, you have some work to do.

 

Well, it does have an engine and tranny, I didn't go that far. It's a 289 Auto. Thats IT as far as the powertrain, and yes it has a driveshaft and rear end too.

 

Hey, that's all ya need, besides a seat to sit on instead of an apple crate.
