Coolant flow
Who puts a cooling system together with the goal of running @ 200° or more? An Enthusiast actually says:
“I want my hot rod Mopar to run at or above 200°, Perfect!” Right.
All the discussion over the years here and elsewhere about engines running hot, wanting to lower the temps, talk of using quality 1”+ and up tube radiators, proper shrouds, unimpeded flow, mech/elec fans and cfm, pulley ratio, water pumps, thermostats, timing and afr, fully intending and desiring to run @ or above 200°? Can count them on one hand, with missing fingers. More the exception, not the rule. It really sounds like they ended up running at that temp, they wanted lower, only to convince themselves it’s fine as is but 200° was and is not the goal. 5-4-3-2........LOL
