Re: 1970 GT6+ cylinder head / intake manifold (that HOT car)

[Douglas Frank <frank@zk3.dec.com>]

I don't know why an ill-fitting intake would overheat, but looking
at a few pix on the web of peoples' GT6's with their bonnets up, I'd
say it's very common for the shrouds to be missing.

As delivered, these cars had a splash shield on each side of the
engine, and an elaborate enclosure surrounding the rad to duct the
air coming in through the grille.  Most of the radiators I see
today are naked, and obviously will get less airflow.  Could this be your 
problem?
