Yeah, I think a cooler thermostat would help--worth trying anyway, since a
thermo isn't expensive.B Nowadays they tell you not to go lower because the
computers in today's vehicles depend on a constant engine temperature at
something like 190-195 degrees.B But the Spridgets are fortunate to have
predated the computer junk so the cooler thermo might help.B But first, be
sure the system is healthy.B Use a cleaner and back flush it to be sure you
are getting good flow.
Just my loose change.

"Look to this day, for it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course
lie all the realities and verities of existence. The bliss of growth, the
splendor of action, the glory of power. And yesterday is but a dream, and
tomorrow is only a vision. But today - well lived - makes every yesterday a
dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore,
to this day. ~ Sanskrit proverb ~

Subject: [Spridgets] thermostat in the south......
I have a 180 degree thermostat installed in the car and it seems to run
exceptionally hot. B This was installed in the car when I lived in the NW.
Since I've relocated to South Carolina, the car seems to always run toward the
hot end of the gauge. B Any recommendations as to what temp thermostat I
should
be getting? B I'm thinking 165 degrees. B Should I go any cooler than that?
Heat index has been aroun 105-115 this summer. B Ouch!
