I got two questions
First off i just got done rewiring my 51 ford and noticed it had to water temp sending units, one is bad or sonethig so it grounds out totaly and indicates the engine is cool no matter what. ar the sendin units supposed to be exactly the same or or slightly different to make the gage acurate.
Second im havin issues with the cooling system any way. the car seems to be getting very hot. it pushes steam out of the over flow and never replanishes its water. how hot is is the engine suposed to get, what thermestat is it suposed to get and what poundage should the radiator cap be rated at?
I should also not that it has an automatic which im slightly suspicous of for over heating and the engine is brand new and last but not least it has a rich airfuel mixture and some plugs develope soot while others dont.
with all these things added up im not sure of what is causing my problems. its not as simple as a model a
