It's very simple, removing the stats that restricted the flow allowed more
coolant to flow through the radiator. Apparently in this case the core was
good and clean and the coolant went through the radiator tubes with none
going out the over flow tube. The coolant is going to the path of least
resistance. I posted about 2 weeks ago about removing 2 36 radiators.
I just got one back from being rodded out and expect the other back early
this week. Both of these had flow problems over 50 MPH. I will do a follow
up post in two weeks when I road test them. I have been installing 24 new
2x2 LED 50 watt drop in ceiling lights where I keep some of my cars. These
are replacing the 4 4' flourecent fixtures. What a difference almost need
sun glasses. G.M.
