Tim with the V6 boiler here.
So after talking to Joe Rodrigues, it was figured out that I should
have put in a heavy duty 3 or 4 core radiator 9as others have
mentioned), and not just slap in the old radiator. I am ignorant and
not ashamed of it! Joe also said that my fan seems to be too far
away from the radiator. He suggested I also get a shroud made to
create sort of a wind tunnel. The car will also tend to run hotter
while it is breaking in after the rebuild. He said a customer in
Bakersfield did the above (with no electric fan) and hasn't had a
problem since. Tomorrow I shall call the radiator shop. Thanks for
all the advice. I'm certainly learning.
Now I need to figure out why my battery isn't charging. That seems
pretty straight forward though. I believe there's a wire that goes
from the alternator, to the ammeter, and then somehow to the battery.
I'll be back,
Tim
