Early Mustang Cooling Systems Part 1: How Thermostats Work & How to Select the Type & Temperature!
In this video I introduce you to the way I manage cooling systems on vintage Mustangs and other cars and trucks from the era. I’ll break down the cooling system into the different areas that impact the system’s overall performance and start with the most misused part, the thermostat.
Part 1: This Video begins with an overview of cooling system operation, broken down to six areas, and turns to focusing on the function and correct application of the thermostat, with insight on how and why choosing the correct thermostat temperature rating is critical to cooling system operation.
Part 2: This video goes into detail on radiator selection and how to choose the design that is best for your needs. I’ll go in depth on the important design elements that will make or break your cooling system operation, and debunk the myth that bigger radiators are always better. The discussion will look at fluid capacity and the ability for the radiator core to perform as a heat exchanger.
This series of videos is something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while and now that I’m in the middle of rebuilding the cooling system for my 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang, it’s the perfect opportunity for me to share my knowledge with you.
