I run Pete's under drive lightweight aluminum water pump pulley and so far with the Fluidyne radiator the cooling is under control.
A couple of weeks ago I was driving about 85 on a hot humid day, somewhere in the lower 90's and the coolant temp on the highway got up to ~208 and when I got off the highway it came down to ~200 and held there.
Today I sat in traffic and its ~81 degrees and humid and the temp did not exceed 200 until traffic began to move ~65 mph and it crept up to ~205.
*edit* Both above are with the a/c on full blast.
I am running distilled water and green antifreeze. Somewhere 60/40 distilled water/antifreeze. |
Here in Central Valley CA early afternoon in foot hills it was 105 deg F. With a Ron Davis cruising at a mild 55 mph with AC Full ON the Coolant temperatures were around 200 deg F. The Fans come ON at 205 deg F and OFF at 200 deg F.
Basically the Coolant Temperatures stayed in the range of Fan Operation.
