Re: {Chrysler 300} 300 F Engine overheating

[Frank Newhouse <newhousef@xxxxxxxxx>]

You mentioned about the radiator cap with a PSI rating. I have a question is anyone know for a 1961 Chrysler 300g without air conditioning what should the proper radiator cap be in PSI? Thanks so much Chrysler 300g

Hi Steve-

Question for you- not sure this could cause it, but, how long has it been since your bottom radiator hose was replaced?  Reason being, they used to be soft rubber with a metal spring inside to hold it open when hot.  Nowadays they are stiffer rubber with no spring (at least, many of them).  Could you possibly have a spring type, and the spring rusted, and the bottom hose is collapsing?

Just a thought,

Hello again from Delaware,Ohio. 

Got a overheating issue.

2 weeks ago drove it 50 miles. Brought it in and it was super hot. Put a new thermostat in  and temp guage was in the middle. Flushed engine today 3 times and new antifreeze.

Drove it 50 miles, temp outside 70.

Brought it in and radiator was gurgling and super hot and upper radiator  hose was not the usual stuff hose. 

Was steaming a little. Had radiator done within 5 years and new water pump also

Infrared temp at radiator cap 200, and engine 240.

Got a week to figure it out or a big no on driving to kokomo. 

Thanks in advance.

Ps

Got a new water pump ready to go?

Thanks
