Overheating Issue - SBC
I have an issue with my Nova, it never ran hot before, but lately it's been overheating when I drive around town. It's fine when I'm outside of town driving between 25 and 50 (or faster) but when I'm just cruisin in and around the slower parts of town it's getting hot, even on a nice cold evening. Tonight we reset the timing, removed the stock radiator and replaced with a much larger aluminum race radiator, and went for a drive.....SAME RESULT! So we took it home, put in a new 160 degree thermostat and went for another drive....still HOT!
We're thinking our next plan of attack will be to try a new water pump (original one is on it now). Any other thoughts on what would be causing us to run hot in and around town????
