Alright so I have a 351w in my 67 mustang. I just installed a Mildon Aluminum High Flow Water Pump, a Summit brand 2 core aluminum radiator (cross flow, 19" tall, 30" wide) and a summit brand "high flow" 160 degree thermostat.
With the engine idling in my garage on a 74 degree day and both electric fans running full blast the best it can do is hold the coolant to 230 degrees. What gives? Something is totally wrong here.
The engine is a 351w, 9:1 compression, windsor Sr. heads, performer RPM intake. Timing is set to about 13 degrees initial and I have a pertronix Ignitor II for ignition.
The engine wouldnt cool with the old brass 3 core radiator and stock pump either so I figured this upgrade would set me straight. Guess not.
Any help would be GREATLY apperciated.
