Re: 55 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100

Sorry was thinking you were referring to chassis cleaning. My issues with engine overheating has been resolved although i find the very powerful SPAL racing fan noise a bit annoying. Fan pulls like 40 amps and required all new HD wiring and breakers. Its really loud but only needed intermittently at slow street crawl speeds or when stopped. I swear its so powerful it pulls me forward like an airplane propeller.. Yesterday was first time i had opportunity to cruise old town at like 5 mph with 70F ambient temp to try it out. Slowly got to 210F fan cut in and ran for like 45 seconds dropping temp to 190F. this lasts about 5 minutes and then the cycle repeats. This is acceptable but fan noise is not. Thinking of insulating hood. Its already rhino lined but not enough.
