Thanks for the help. I bought this car years ago. It is a 1965 New Yorker, but it has a 440 engine in it. As you all know, the 65 only had 383 and, I think, a 413 in them. Anyway, I do not know if the torque flight was the original transmission. I had the radiator shop redo the radiator maybe 200 miles ago. They have done a Jeep Commando, Ford F100 and Mercedes radiators for me in the past without any problems.
So yesterday, I went to Harbor Freight and got my IR Laser thermometer. Boy, do I like this thing. My wife said if she knew this would have entertained me for so long, she would have bought it for me a long time ago. Below are some of my recordings. My two "goto" guys told me that I have nothing to worry about, but I have been in parades with my 1963 Studebaker Avanti and have seen too many guys pulling out to have their cars cool down. One of the guys told me that his 65 GTO and Buick Grand National have factory ATM coolers in them.
I don't want to be sitting in line at Carlisle and embarrass the old Mopar. So, will the ATM Oil cooler help?
