Not Your Average Overheat Question
'70 C10 396, TH400 3-spd trans, mild cam, 454 heads, timing 36 total
Overheats at low speeds or at stops. If I go straight to highway at 65 it is fine. If it overheats at low speeds and then I hit the highway, it won't cool down, stays in the red. With rad cap off, I see good flow in radiator. With engine warm, in gear at a stop is 700 rpm, but in park it goes to 1800-2000 rpm.
Here's my question: With temp in the red, temps on both ends of lower AND upper rad hoses show 210-213 degrees. No 10-20 degree difference. Why?
