<VV> Overheating

[Mark Durham]

Jay, how do you know it is overheating? What are the symptoms? If the
temp light is coming on, have you checked that for accuracy? Have you
taken the lower tin off completely or just removed the two doors to
flow a bit more air to see how that helps?
My 64-110 in my 62 coupe runs a lot nicer in the summers with the lower
tin is off. Mark Durham

I have a 65 Corsa Conv. 140hp. 4-Speed.
When on the highway or maintaining high revs around town it overheats.
If I keep the revs low I can drive around all day without a problem.
The only modification is I replaced the exhaust system with headers from Clarks.
Checked the fan belt to make sure it isn't too tight.
Oil is fresh & high zinc 10w30 for classic cars.
Run on 93 Octane Unleaded.
Engine fins are clear and clean.
Filters are fresh.
What is the normal temperature range when warmed up?
Any troubleshooting suggestions?
Thanks!
