I've certainly had my share of problems over the yeas and over time each of the things mentioned above has been found to be the problem.
I do think that if its only running hot while its idling then there is not enough air moving through the radiator. While your moving it is getting plenty "forced" through.
If the engine is "sitting low" in the frame you may want to consider running an electric fan along with the regular fan. I did this on my 37 which only ran warm in a parade. Put on an electric fan with a switch inside and no more problems. You may want to consider running a BIG electric fan and doing away with the original. One that covers the whole radiator.
Just my pennies worth to the ideas above. | | |
