Re: Heater Core and overheat

[george smith <bt6t4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Back in the 60's when I ran my Polara,I had a lot of
rust in the cooling system issues. It got so bad it
eventually corroded through several frost plugs. I was
told then it was due to the rough casting of the
blocks themselves. I think technology for blocks and
antifreeze has taken that problem away for the most
part.Running a correct pressure is a must,especially
w/AC.Before I stripped my car for the body shop I
drove it several mos. in the summer of 03.With a 2
core rad. and seven blade fan I had no trouble. This
was in 80-90 temps in Nebraska too.
You might consider getting the block flushed at the
same time you have a new core put in.
