Damn Cooling System!
I am at my wits end. I dont like how hot this thing gets with the Novi. I pulled off the Napa 2 core and put in a big almn FMS M-8005-C with a new 180 stat. It was running 168 deg down the interstate yesterday, w/ the AC on max. The AC quit on me (Had to replace the pressure switch on the dryer, AC back up and running) But while it was out I had to go by the bank. While in the drive thru it hit 225 deg, with no AC on. I have a new HD fan clutch and stock fan. It only has a new Ford replacement water pump. I have gold Flex a lite fan for a 5.0 and a Edelbrock HD High flow water pump I have not yet installed.
I am wondering if the AC condenser is stopping the airflow. It is 21 years old and is full of road grim, not to mention 2 paint jobs worth of overspray. I have a R134 compressor and am thinking of getting a new dryer and condersor, to switch it over to R134.
Sorry for the long rant. Any Ideas?
