I recently purchased a 1966 Mustang 289 C-code from the US and had it shipped abroad to my country. I drove it a several times on trips of no more than 15mins as the temp sending unit wasn't working and I assumed everything was fine other than the sender. So yesterday I got my sender unit and I went to install it,, I assumed you just had to replace it, I realized as i was opening it the coolest was coming out of the engine bay so I quickly removed the old one and installed the new one. Obviously I lost some coolant from the radiator so I went and bought coolant and topped it up, I followed the "burping" method for the radiator although i haven't lost all the coolant. I started the car and temp gauge started to work, gradually it reached H, I know the car needle has to reach almost half but if it next to the H that means its overheating. Did I changed it the wrong way, Do I have to do it again by flushing the radiator from the drain hole and then removing and reinstalling the temp sending unit again and then fill it up with coolant,
I read that sometimes the thermostat fails and might need replacing,, how hard are they to replace, and were are they located and can u show me pics in the engine bay, you help is gonna be truly appreciated as always.
