OVER HEATING...

I have the same exact issue. I even disconnected the AC, upgraded the radiator, installed a lower temp. thermostat and yet I can only drive my

I did determine that the nose bra didnt provide enough air-flow and helped somewhat when removed.

Do you have any upgrades? I have a superchip and a much larger camshaft.. mines the 305 TPI FI though, not carbureted.

Manual or automatic? If auto, it could be your tranny heating everything up, especially if you have a higher stall speed converter in there.

well it is 5 spd standerd,for upgrades it has a edlelbrock 650 carb, performer intake, and well the motor doesnot have much else upgraded,so i dont understand why it still overheats?

Is the radiator cap in good shape? It has to hold pressure and if weak, may appear to be overheating. I have a 1982 Z-28 and the thing has always run a tad warm since I bought it new. I did put a 160 degree thermostat in it and it helped some.

Well.. one thing you might look at.. is have a guy scan the car.. I thought my car was always running warm too.. but had a shop can the temp, and the gague is actually reading 20-28 degrees warmer than the engine actually is.

i was wondering if i could have a manual fan on the motor in the back of radiator and a electric in the front? would this work or would thay fight?

Have the same problem. Dealer said to ditch the aftermarket copper radiator and put a high flow aluminum one back in. Haven't done it yet but plan on it. Aluminum dissipates heat much better at idle.

I also have been looking at Summit for a water pump that pushes a higher volume over stock. They have a few.
