After adding the extra cooling and going for a drive the car ran nice and cool, but the temp climbed when I cut it off and left it for the night. yesterday my electric fan came and I bought an adjustable temp switch and a new thermostat for the car. when I removed the gooseneck for the thermostat, pressure blew out. After being not run for a day there was still pressure in the system? Should it not have cooled down and drew coolant back in and filled the system? I am going to pull the radiator out this evening to install the electric fan as a pusher and still have the option of putting my yellow plastic fan back on if more cooling is needed. Not enough room on the front for the electric fan and at the same time I will check the radiator. My dad has taken them apart and checked them before. If it looks to far gone then I will just buy a new one and quit screwing around. I have my other old one and might rip it part too and see if either are worth fooling with. The thermostat that was in there says made in england on it so it is probably the original. It has 74 on it so I guess that means 165 degrees F and the new one I bought is a 160 degree. Whew.
