I've been having trouble with my '73 2.0 running hot... while I was under it I realized that one of the heat exchangers doesn't have the heater hose attached, so it just allows air to escape. I temporarily plugged the hole and low and behold it now doesn't run as hot (210 after 30 minutes of 80mph highway) and it cools down quickly when I slow down.
moral of the story... check the stinkin' obvious... |

QUOTE(markd@mac.com @ May 5 2004, 11:01 AM) If you don't have the flapper boxes/ hoses connected then remove the ducting that runs from the impeller fan housing to the HEs and plug those holes in the impeller housing with something. You have to get creative there, but they must be plugged. it looks like the PO filled this with some spray insulation, or ugly welding, or some HARD crap! I never had the hoses, flapper, or anything else... so, am I ok? |
