So I have my new engine in my 82 and got it running Sat. Had to work at filling the cooling system, but it still seemed hot. To set up for the engine dyno, I just ran a hose between the intake outlet and the water pump inlet. Shop owner said it was not cooling until he blocked off those fittings.
So Sunday, I pulled the heater hose off the intake fitting and clamped a short pc of smaller hose inside it.
Seems to have made a difference.
Anyone else had this, or better cooling with the restrictor in place? (The 82 is non ac heater only car, you can change the core in 20 minutes)
