Over heating question
Drove 20 miles to the local cruise last night with the a/c running. Temp gauge normal, running a fairly new 160 thermostat (72 350 automatic). I opened the hood upon arrival and everything under the hood was hot. The hood release latch was even hot, as were the inner fenders, radiator support, etc.
Read one thread that said you could bleed air out of the cooling system, can someone tell me how to do that ?? Noticed that my fan blade will turn easily with the engine not running. Is that normal. Bad fan clutch? Didn't check the lower radiator hose while it was hot, will maybe do that today. Lower hose collapsing? Puzzled that my temp gauge is normal but seems hotter than a firecracker under the hood. Seems to run fine but now afraid to drive it much. Any help appreciated.
