Hi,
getting a car running thats been sitting awhile- 68 289 2bbl ac, p/s if it matters with the big original radiator
after replacing the temperature sender in the intake manifold for a new one, the guage now works, but points to about almost 2 o-clock,. Wondering what your guages run when normal, is straight up 12 o-clock about normal?
(i put in a 185 thermostat with new gooseneck)
i thought the waterpump was rotted out, but just removed and it seems fine, never had a leak from the weephole, no shaft endplay etc.
wondering if maybe my radiator is semi clogged, i do see water moving a bit after the thermostat opens, but the level doesnt really drop when revving a bit.
or maybe theres sediment in the block i have to try and flush out next
thanks for any tips
