Alright, When got the car it overheated in the middle of the day after about 20-30 min. not too much stop and go traffic, it just keeps climbing up to about 210-220 and sits there until i hit a light or 2 then its 240 and im running through gears to cool the rad down, which will get it back to 220-230 range but wont go back to 210 not even on the highway. or i pull into a parking lot as fast as i can.
I have done water pump, autozone special, also made sure it was pumping the right direction.
temp sensor, 160 t-stat and boiled it to make sure.
new hoses, t/b hose delete and heater core is bad so I looped the hose with no kinks.
It has a huge alfco rad with a pep boys fan no shroud i had checked out by a rad shop
I also flushed it, took off intake cleaned out jackets, and blew out heads and block with compressed air.
Im going to try a bigger fan from a loacl stang shop and a 75water/25 antifreeze mix with watter wetter tommarow but I really dont think its goin to
do the trick
anyone have any idea's and does anyone know how I could check to see if a head gasket is leaking, already comp tested and it was good. This is driving me nuts any help would be much apprciated thanks, George
