Default Re: heating problem

190 degree thermostats..july hot runs all day at 185/195...accelerate to 70 mph which means more fuel...more fuel generates more heat..raise your right foot back to 60 mph ,,the temp will settle back to 185/190 degrees..these flat engines were to operate perfect at 50/55 mph on 2 lane roads....I have been running my flattie for over 20 years..with a/c....use your head ,,if your running 70 mph into the afternoon sun in july hot or texas sun or climbing Jellico,,7 lb pressure cap ,,temps can skyrocket to boiling 212,,however with extra pressure cap..212 isn't boiling.. raise your right foot ,I'm done
