Hey CB gurus,
I am having a frustrating time with my Bronco overheating. Im in Socal and on hot days at a stoplight, my temp gauge is getting up towards 220 before I shut her down. I am running a 302, C4, edelbrock 650 carb, headers, full fan shroud, 6 blade fan etc. I recently bought a Ron Davis radiator and its better, but not much. It still cant keep up at idle. I have a 160* thermostat and am being told to try a Stant thermostat at 160*. I cant imagine this would make a difference.
So, should I try no Themostat, a 180*, new water pump (not very old). Not sure what to try next.
