Re: 1936 Overheating Problem
35-6 are prone to over heat issues. Ford added modifications to several items such as louvers to the inner fender panels of 36 to improve cooling but they work best when the car is moving. IMO I would check out the Ford Service Bulletins since they list the possible overlooked source of overheat issues such as ignition timing. Skip Haney in Fla. also rebuilds water pumps with the improved impellers. If you want bone stock configuration the 35 and 36 water pumps are different so know what your looking at before having it rebuilt. The V8 Club has an excellent book dealing with the 35 and 36 Fords
