Here it is!


OK now have fixed hot running 427 Windsor. Heres what happened:
1.) checked and double checked and bled all air from cooling system. Rasied front of car and still had a small amount of air. 2.) Purchased 427 Surge tank from Cobra Restorers (CR) in GA and this has eliminated any air. Very nice component from CR , ecxcellent workmanship by Jimmy at CR!) Purchased laser temp. gun and verified temperatures were around 180 to 190 deg F with a 180 deg F thermostat. Still getting high gauge readings even after all this work on Smiths water and oil temp. gauges. Pull sending units and measured resistance at ambient and in boiling water against Smiths resistance values. Found both transducers were out of line with charts. Order two new transducers from Nisonger and decided also to replace my 30 year old Smith gauges with new stepper motor Smith gauges. Installed new transducer and gauges and all now works perfectly. Temperatures running now at 180 to 190 and when fan comes on the temp actually drops just like it should. Thanks to all for suggestions and ideas .... problem now solved.

Thanks for post the solution. Most guys never post if they fixed the problem not. They leave everyone hanging. Problem no solution.

Thanks
