MRL 360 Coolant Temp 210+

Some things to also look for and know would be a lean running engine &/or the distributor to far advanced. If your engine is octane sensitive, that could be a problem as well.

I’m also fighting high temps on a new build. These are my next target areas to fiddle with since it is a fresh rebuild and not yet dialed in.

I also have a new radiator, 50/50 mixed coolant, new shroud, viscous cooling unit with the fan 3/4’s into the shroud.

It was OK until the temps reached the mid ‘80’s. Now the temp goes up to 210+ a tad more.

I’ll be looking into the distributors timing at idle and at full vacuum. The I’ll get into the carb. I believe I’m running a little lean. I want to also change to
A 190* from a 180* Thermoquad stat.

Also as a note, the swap from 3.23 to 3.55 added some heat which is I am sure is due to the extra revs.
