I say wimpy but it might be that I just don't know how hot a big block ford should run. My big block chevy likes running around 185-190. I took the cobra out for a spin when it was 40 degrees and she ran up to 200-205 and I just thought that was a little high. I don't know if it has a thermostat in it , I have to start taking a more thorough look at the mechanicals, I just haven't had time.
Maybe BBF's like to run at that temp? I was just expecting that in that kind of weather that it would have run a bit cooler so I thought that it probably was the rad, since I had the same problem with by BBC. I have a new Walker Z rad for my BBC which should solve the problem with my BBC.
I just don't know if the Cobra should run that hot. It has dual electric fans in front of the rad. I thought that the fans should be behind the rad and not in front of it.
These are just opinions though, since I am new to this car and to the setup in it. I suppose that I will learn as I go along.
Thanks for the help and I hope to see you at the meeting.
Ever
