Hi,
Is this the correct positioning for the cooling flaps with a cold unexpanded bellows? Somehow I think the rod may have been bent or the flaps twisted by the previous owner. I want to hook up the thermostat so I can have a wintertime heater. Thanks...Dan Attached thumbnail(s)

Everyone has an opinion based on experience on these 4 bangers, and I really do see what Mike is saying, but truly, the engine should not go over idle until it has come up to temp. Running cold is as dangerous as running hot. I will never forget the pieces in the strainer a week after reinstall and run in. WAS I PISSED OR WHAT?
My flaps on my current car, with a new bellows, wire and crimped end goes from all the way closed to mostly open in 5 minutes. It may not be totally open, and maybe a summer/winter variation is what is called for. If all the parts are good and correct, that is not at all unreasonable. Does Jake or another builder have an opinion? I actually measured it in each season over the last 2 years. Now SoCal is not even close tempwise to NorCal, or like someplace actually DAMN cold, but I blew an engine running too cold, and many have ruined engines too hot. It is a 40 year old design. John |
