Default Re: Cooling observances and hypothesis

When I was using a 46 big truck I put in a 49 Merc, converted to dual ex, being cheap I used a muffler I had, a new one from a V8 mustang, when pulling up hills the gauge would flick to hot, eventually found that the mustang muffler was too restricted for the 1/2 a flathead, changed to original truck muffler and never got hot again----
