Hey guys,
Want to run this by you and see if I should be concerned.
I’ve got a 360 magnum in my 1971 Plymouth scamp. 3 row larger champion radiator, dual electric fans. Fans are set to come on at 200 and they turn off at 185. Car has a 160 degree thermostat.
The car acts like it prefers to operate around 200 degrees. Doesn’t seem to drop lower than that even when cruising down the road on a 70 degree day.
Car has water/water wetter additive in it currently, water is clean. Flushed the cooling system already, new water pump too. Coolant system properly bled as well.
I figured it would run cooler than 200 with all things considered.
Is 200 degrees concerningly high for this setup? I’m not sure. What do you think?
