    Forgot to add, the car does have the original fan shroud. The radiator is the original from 68. Think I should upgrade or just have this one fixed up as being stated? Thanks to everyone that is/has commented.

    Update: So I noticed the cap was old and not sealing, so I replace that along with the hose coming from where the cap goes to the over flow reservoir and I think that solved the problem. But... Car gauge inside still reads like 3/4 temp. But it does not appear to be overheating now, but that is...

    1968 Cougar Over Heating Problem... Suggestions

    I do not hear a hissing sound when the car is running. It actually runs really well as it sits. I will look into the radiator and inspect it more. But would all these prevent the thermostat from opening? Pressure builds in the tube leading to the thermostat.

    Engine Good Price To Pay For Heads And Short Block

    Its a "good" condition block and I am checking into if they are irons. I'll report back when I have the answer. Sorry one more question. I have a cam shaft off my cobra.
