no AC on the car.
Thermostat was installed correctly. I ran no thermostat for about a month a few years ago, then installed one to manage problem with overheating, and then recent put a new one in since i was still getting over heating issue.
I am not putting the old water pump back on. I bought an AC Delco water pump and will be replacing with that. I will then burb the system when i put new fluid/water in the car.
i will be putting the pump back on the car either today or tomorrow. I will check timing after I have done the above. I do not have a dial back timing gun, that isnt to say I cannot get one. Is there any on Amazon that i can get? (i have amazon credit, figure i use it  ) |
One of the purposes of an electric fan is to run and cool as needed. As Greg states it running at speed causes air turbulence that can impede air flow through the rows and fins at cruise speed.
Water pump I would recommend within that price range. SUM-312449. At summit racing.com
