Some of you may remember I did a few posting on my 55 292 overheating last fall/I did all the things that a person should do new rad, fan shroud,6 blade fan,water pump, etc This has been going on sent I brought it

When I would do a temp check between top and bottom rad hose I would only have about a 10 to 15 degree drop well I finally got it fixed some one had put a 5 1/2 inch water pump pulley on the car when it should have been a 7 1/2 inch pulley Now I have a 35 to 40 degree drop between top and bottom hose So if your fighting overheating problems check that pulley some one may have put a small pulley on and that water is going through that rad way to fast
