I am wondering if I should put my theromostat in and would like some opinions.
I currently run no thermostat and have overheating issues when I go above 60mph. Have a 1969 1F engine. Since I live in Texas and it is real hot all the time, I figured if I don’t have the thermostat in I will have nothing slowing down / inhibiting water flow and have increased cooling efficiency. I have burped the system a number of times and water temp still likes to climb (even had 1 over heat).
So, should I 1) put it in because I am a dumbass for not having it in or 2) should I keep running without it and a pro radiator flush or possible new radiator or ???.
