Howard,
I run a Renegade cooling system and have had overheating issues along the way. Most were due to problems caused by myself. I'll post some pics of my system and be glad to share what I have learned the last year and a half. First pic is of water sender location. I actually run two gauges. The two brass fittings are my temperature monitor points. Since the water from pump is routed into block, to heads and then to intake prior to moving back to radiator, the intake is the preferred location of sender. John Attached image(s) ![]() |

Howard,
A more detailed description of your temperature readings would be helpful. -Are you seeing 240 while on the road above 40 mph? Or does the temp. creep up in traffic and then never come below 240 after getting back to cruise mode? -What size is your inlet/outlet holes for radiator? A picture would be helpful here. -How do you bleed air from cooling system? Where is petcock located? -Do you have a recovery tank? Is the level in tank always the same when car has sat overnight? (looking for a leak here, ie, headgasket, intake etc.) -Have you tried running both fans continuiously from warm up (170F) and left on during a hot lap? (trying to see if your system is playing catchup) -How are your water hoses routed? (under car, through longs.) -Any kinks in hose? Inlet to water pump is a common area. John |
