It's been a hot and humid summer in the NE and I have been driving my
newly restored bt7, I had heard all the info about the cars running hot,
but I am concerned about how hot. The car runs about 190-195 as long as
moving along, but will rise close to 200-205 if stopped for any length
of time. My other concern is when I shut off the car engine the temp
will rise to 220+, can this damage the engine?. I was originally running
a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water and reduced this to 75-25 mix which
helped a little but I don't think enough. Car is all original including
4 blade fan. Are there other things to be concerned about. kurt
