[Healeys] Running hot/Overheating

[Bruce Steele]

Last fall, I added the Moss oil cooler kit, the air shovel from Chris Gallagher (studio at chrisgallagher.ca), which, for those not familiar with it, is basically a bolt-in chin scoop that funnels air to the radiator, and switched from 50/50 water/ethylene glycol to pure water with No-Rosion.  Dropped the running temp about 10 degrees, though sitting in stop and go traffic above 90 degrees is still a concern.  But they do buy me a little more time.

Yeah, I know this one's been beat to death, but I came across this article from the latest Hagerty's glossy.  I think it sums up the issue nicely, and might be of help, especially with newcomers to the List (who sometimes seem to join just to ask this question).  Incidentally, I just inherited a '65 Mustang with 289 that has the 'coolant flow' 
problem--there's plenty of space in the engine bay--and I think there's consensus that Big Healeys have an 'airflow' problem.
