Ive been around old Mustangs- never seen anything like this before-
looking for help-
I picked up a little 65 coupe to mess with because I got it cheap-
Its a 289- 10:1 compression, mild cam, head work, roller rockers, 5 speed car
Cooling system-
Im running a 180 thermostat, stock radiator, just added replaced old coolant with new coolant, running 100% antifreeze
The problem-
OK, if it overheats while standing still- needs more fan
If it overheats on the freeway, fluid needs to slow right?
My car-
It runs at 180 for 30-35 minutes of driving the creeps up to 210-
Once at 210, it stays at 210- regardless of whether Im on the freeway, in traffic, where ever-
Can anyone tell me any possible good reason it would go up to 210 after driving that long? I know its not really bad for it, but I dont understand
