    My car doesn't like hot weather

    Well, an update. We finally have some HOT weather. It got into the low to mid 90's today and I took the car out to see how she'd act. The car was running great while it was coolish; no issues to speak of. So today I took a ride of about 10 miles to get everything warmed up and nominal. No...

    Though it sounds funny because of this post, my car came with the "heavy duty" cooling system! That included a 26" rad, 4 blade fixed fan and a box shroud. You say the thermal clutch; which one is that? The one with the spring on the front face?? Anyway, no debris in the rad and I have a...

    My car doesn't like hot weather

    Thanks guys! My car doesn't have A/C and originally had a fixed 4 blade fan with the 26" rad with shroud. The fan and the original rad are lost. Probably foolishly trashed when my car was in a shop for 6 months while the engine was overhauled and other work was done. Sort of a partial...

    My car doesn't like hot weather

    I've got a 67 300 with 440 TNT engine and automatic. The car runs fine with no issues as long as the temperature is below 80 degrees. Once it gets hotter than that it has two issues that make it annoying to drive. The first one's been with me since I've owned the car (12 yrs) and the other...
