Re: Flathead temp
That's interesting, I just went through a thread I posted with my fresh 8BA having the same condition. That is colder on the driver side than the passenger side by about 20 to 30 degrees. Even though the car runs great. Was curious as you are with this. JSeery who I've taken advice from before and has a post on this thread indicated on mine that the cold side on mine ( driver side ) was too cold and said I needed to do something to get it higher ( was running 160 at stand still and lower at cruising speed). Several in my thread thought they had heard previously in threads and around that it's pretty typical for the P-side to run hotter than the driver side. I was running no stats, I installed a 180 stat on the d-side ( colder side ) and it worked. both run within about 10 to 15 degrees of each other and the cold side is running at a more appropriate temp ( 180 + now ) matching the other side more closely.
