Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
Drove our '66 SS 396 ( A/C ) in the local Parade again. Parade's seem to test the cooling systems. I have a new stock water pump, new - recored 3 row Harrison and a seven blade fan. Water temp barley hit 220 after 20 minutes at crawling speed. Right afterwards I was able to drive through a few 45mph zones and it cooled down to 200 in a couple of miles - just needed some air. What water temp do those of you with big blocks let it get to before shutting it down? Krister Meister Bloomingdale, IL '66 SS #'s Happy 4th of July everyone. I hope you all had a very happy and safe holiday. Chuck Speake 70 Chevelle Malibu Glen Ellyn, IL
Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
Krister, I would seriously consider a pusher electric fan and run it anytime you run your A/C. 220 is not awful but it is bordering on too hot. A pusher should pull that temp down at least ten degrees which would be good for your engine and make the A/C more efficient. Also try not to ever shut down a hot engine as the temp will just climb. I believe the boiling point for 50/50 coolant is around 240. There are other factors. It sounds like your system is doing what it should for what you have. That additional fan will make everything much happier.

RE: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
For whatever reason, I also seem to remember that 240 is the magic number that you don't want to hit. Try less barley.

Re: [Chevelle-list] (no subject) Parade temp
Since there's no chance of freeze damage,I would cut the antifreeze ratio way back and run more water. Even better would be 100% distilled water with a bottle or two of Redline WaterWetter. If your car isn't all original,chuck the engine-driven fan and install a Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan set-up. They practically fall on a Chevelle radiator and at 5,000cfm,will cool just about anything.
