I read this board constantly but haven’t had a question for sometime. The 1951 3100 with 1958 235, two 2bbls, Fenton Headers, 3:55 rearend and SM-420 has been storming like a true champion.
I have a question now that it is Summer. I intend to tow a 1957, 17’ Shasta travel trailer with it. The trailer, loaded, weighs approximately 1900 lbs. I need to know what is “overheating”. I have seen “overheat”, “too hot”, “excessive heat” but never a number. Everything is in excellent shape but I’m sure it’ll heat up somewhat when I’m on a hill. At approximately what temperature on the gauge is “too hot” so that I should pull over and let it cool down? I don’t think I’ll ever have to but one never knows.
Thanks for any input and comments.
