[DeTomaso] Radiator

[jderyke at aol.com]

FWIW Eric, I had a water temp I thought was too high in our '72 L, and I wound up changing EVERYTHING in the cooling system plus the cylinder heads (to SVO aluminum). Nothing I did had any effect on a stable temp after the car was thoroughly warmed up. Until I added a Fluidyne aluminum radiator: that one change dropped the warmed up water temp 20 degrees. I will be interested in your progress. Note that in this particular car, I get about 2 yrs out of a Cleveland thermostat before it malfunctions.J DeRyke

About to install the drivetrain in my 71.  I had overheating issues since I’ve owned the car, but it’s been 30 yrs since it was last on the road.  What is the best cooling system made to make sure this issue never happens again?
