well, finally took it for a drive into town. what used to cause the temp gauge to go slightly right of the L in NORMAL (basically...

I'm actually below sealevel. fyi at 8800ft boiling point would be 195 deg f and 192 F at 11000 ft. None of that is relevant though...

true. so you did bring up some points about temps etc and wanted to see what you think about my situation. in a nutshell, within a...

none taken ...at least they fixed it

The ford engineers designed the vehicle to operate at 212 degrees hence the 195 thermostat as temps usually regulate 15 above thermostat...

no offense but the Ford engineers also designed the A/C condenser with too many fins per inch which caused the overheating issues in the...

212 is not the perfect coolant temp anything above 200 wrecks your orings and hoses over time 170-180 is the sweet spot for mod motors...

@decipha here's the document from Reische about fan temps and the 170F t-stat if you care to check it out

i'm gonna follow the advice of reische and lower the fan temps to what he recommends. thanks for the comment though.

Thats not good. The perfect coolant temp is 212 deg F. You want it to get to at least 212 F each time you drive it. Get your tuner to...

sorry 2000 rpm and it never got above N in the Normal guage in dash

yes sir. i mixed up probably 60/40 by eyeball and added the water wetter too. also followed the burp procedure on reische website...

Awesome man there should be no way you over heat now just a quick question what concentration of anti freeze and water do you use 50/50...

well, as hopefully a final update, here we go. 96 cobra. replaced A/C condenser with 97 model. all A/C intact and functioning...

depends how much time ya got. i'd say at a minimum, tahiti (you have to fly into papeete anyway), moorea (ferry from papeete) and...
