Over Heating
Good Morning Everyone,
I purchased a 1977 Trail Duster yesterday and I do love it...I used to be a ford man but now I have a new Love DODGE! Its loud, ugly and barely running...All the things Iam looking for but I was hoping someone could tell me where to start.
The temp guage keeps going up but I dont think the temperature of the engine is simply because its 7 degrees today...any ideas where to start to trouble shoot it?
1977 Dodge Trailduster 318 V8
any help would be greate

RE: Over Heating
try the thermostat 1st, then the radiator, and lastly the water pump. If you have fluid in the radiator and its not leaking thats where I would start. Other than that the block could be clogged, a flush kit might not be a bad idea, they are only a few bucks
