351C temperature question?

Jul 07, 2011 by Marcos | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

Ok so I have a 1970 Ford Torino GT 351C rebuilt roughly 12000 miles on it more or less. We had a 190 degree thermostat in it and recently put a 180 in because they said 190 was way too high for a Cleveland so we swapped em out and it runs at about 190

210 is about right. It probably wouldn't hurt to put a new radiator in it, but it won't change the temp very much at all. Also an electric fan does work pretty good on these older cars, I always use one on my older cars. (tip) go to a junkyard and find
