I blocked off the entire radiator this morning and drove to Maine. It took a while but the car reached normal operating temp- a tad bit above the 175 F mark. Halfway through the trip, I pulled over at the Kennebunkport service area and pulled some of the cardboard back to 50% coverage. I did this because I still had a good 1hr plus to go and didn't want to push my luck. The car started cooling down to just a tad above the 100F mark. Other than that the car drove like a dream. Even hit 80 mph! Didn't think theses old boys could do that.
