-Jon-good lead, got a great deal on an all-metal 2-row radiator (larger
-capacity than stock)...AND they delivered out here to the sticks!
-Had some difficulty mating the Hayden fan back to the new radiator
-as it was
-thicker and the mounting rods were too short, so spent most of
-tonite fabbing
-up a bracket out of flat aluminum bars and bolting those to the radiator
-edges...froze my arse off tonite working outside! Also changed out
-to a new
-Robertshaw 180 thermostat as long as everything was apart...
-suspect some of the cooling issue might be related to airflow so
-contemplating on having a new shroud fabricated to direct the
-flow...(don't
-suppose you still have my old shroud still laying around?)
-other observations: Hayden Adj. Thermostat switch may have been bad so am
-replacing with new one. Sealing relay with RTV and leads with
-silicon grease
-to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion (was apparent on old control).
--getting larger capacity coolant overflow tank.
--new radiator cap.
-Will resume installation of new radiator/fan assembly and switch wiring
-tomorrow evening. DAMN I hope like hell there was no serious engine damage
-done....
