Well Folks, I took my 40 Coupe on a 25 mile run this afternoon. Pulled couple hills on the trip and the temp gauge kept creeping up so I turned and headed back home. when I got back the temp gauge has rose to the 3/4 mark on the gauge. With the other radiator that is an NOS 91A service replacement radiator the temp gauge hardly ever got above the normal mark even on the hot days. So, I carried another radiator over to the radiator shop this morning for him to be sure it’s clean and pressure checked. The Drake radiator just isn’t getting the job done.
