Question, car seems to run hot while up to speed. Everything is new you can name. I'm thinking maybe the lower hose may be collapsing at higher rpm. It's a direct fit molded hose but no spring inside it. Anyone know of a spring I could buy or the hose that comes with it? It was 80 today and almost 12 miles at less then 25mph stuck in traffic didn't see more then 190ish but as soon as traffic cleared it jumped to 205 at about 70 mph and stayed there and never dropped back down. Never got hotter but to me seemed hot. Motor has less then 2k on it, full rebuild. Have huge aluminum radiator dual electric fans (which are running). Any suggestions? Other thought maybe running lean? I don't know how to adjust the carb. It's a 750 elderbrock. Also fluid totally full and I have a recovery tank. Looking for suggestions.
