Good Morning;
I have a 1941 GMC 3/4 ton Pick up with a 248 cu inch engine. It now has an aluminum radiator, Air Conditioning; but retains the original 4 speed transmission. The Gauge Cluster with the capillary temperature gauge shows the top temperature of 212 degrees F. The engine which was rebuilt and now has approximately 1000 miles runs around the 200 degree F range.
What is the proper temp range of the thermostat that I should be running?
What is the proper pressure range of the radiator cap that I should be using
Do I have a problem with the engine running in the 190-205 degree F range?
Seems as if the temp comes up to very close to 210 degrees F; then backs down to 180-190 as long as I keep moving (electric fan installed; stock fan removed)
thanks for the help.
