Hi guys,
I recently purchased a 91 GT with a fair number of mods already installed. I've been running into issues with the car running hot and have already swapped the t-stat with a 180* model and replaced with fresh coolant and Water Wetter, but that doesn't seem to be helping. The radiator appears to be the original and looks pretty banged up on the front side, and possibly leaking near the radiator cap, so I was thinking about replacing it. The previous owner had installed Mishimoto electric fans wired to a manual switch and has the A/C on a manual switch which I have been forced to leave off to keep temps down. He also installed a stainless overflow cannister.
I was thinking about replacing the radiator and maybe going ahead and upgrading to an Edelbrock high volume water pump. Was looking at the Mishimoto radiator but I've seen some complaints here and there along with praise. So, I was hoping to get some opinion for you guys. I'm an admitted novice under the hood and am just learning and definitely appreciate any advice.
