Hello-
I am new to this site.
I have a number of 40's thru 60's cars and trucks, but new to Plymouths...
I picked up a couple of Fury's last year and have been restoring them, a 63 fury all original in good condition for my wife and a '66 sports fury with a new rebuild 440 super commando for myself.
The '63 runs and drives like new, but the '66 has a cooling issue.
It doesn't seem to want to warm up unless it's a hot day and sitting in traffic and them it will get up to 200-210 degrees, but will run only below 140 to160 normally ( on a 1 hour drive over a 2000ft mountain pass it still doesn't warm up) .
I put in a new 180 t-stat, new water pump, and fan clutch.
I would think it would always warm up to the t-stat temperature?
It is inconvenient on a cold morning to not have much heat from the heater and would think it would run better at 180-200 degrees?
Any thoughts?
