Operating temperature

Asked by gd_erie Aug 09, 2021 at 02:17 PM about the 1966 Chevrolet Corvair

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just purchased a restored 66 Monza. - 110Hp duel carb turbo. While going on a
75 mile trip down the interstate, - 85 degree outside temp - running between 60
& 70 mph, the after market temp gauge went to it's red zone between 210 &
250. We turned on the heater/fan & car seemed to run fine but don't know if this
is normal or if I have a problem. Any suggestions?

1 Answer

You know the engine is air cooled? Make sure the fan is working and that all the ducts are in good repair and that nothing is missing. I suggest you find a Corvair forum.
