Thanks!

Lol. I’m putting a 3 row radiator in my 68 this weekend to see if that will cool it down some. Runs a bit to hot for my liking. 210* to 220*

I finally had to retire my factory Rad last year. Was going to get it rodded out but the cost and risk wasn’t worth it. Put in a more efficient aluminum that looks factory and the temps are down and manageable.
The desert is heating up now so the car will only see am temps or a cool day@80-90ish degrees.

195-220 is considered normal by the factory and keeps the oil clean of condensation. https://www.restonyc.com/how-hot-is-too-hot-for-a-v8-engine/

In the Local Woodward Dream Cruises, Telegraph Cruises and Hines Drive Cruises my car can get up to 220-225+ in the stop and go, almost parked traffic during the cruises.

my runner's (1970 383) temp shows normal for mid 80s in NW Florida. BTW I'm not a fellow RR boy; I'm a fellow RR girl. LOL

To: 6PKRTSE. Also originally from MI and wish I could do the Woodward/Telegraph Cruise. Never in MI at that time. Also, thought my runner's engine would run hot and didn't want to go thru that.
