I just got back from my test drive after installing my newly re-cored
radiator. They gave me the old core and boy was it plugged up! I'm going to
put pictures of it on my web site soon. I guess these things don't last 31
years! :-) They replaced the 2 rail core with a new 3 rail heavy-duty core.
I also replaced the thermostat with a 160 degree one. Well it keeps the
engine cool now! A little too cool. My temp gauge is halfway between C and
the Middle. I am going to step up to the next higher temp thermostat. I
think 190.
What thermostat are you guys running?
Bear in mind, this is a 1300cc 1968 Mk3.
BTW. I did not install an electric fan and I probably won't given the
amount of cooling this new radiator has.
