Hi All,

 

Wondering if you can help. My 1600 Pinto gets a touch hot when left idling. I didn't do the build so as brought but at the moment this is what I have no heater.

 

Expansion top capped

Bottom expansion to inlet manifold

top rad to thermostat

Bottom rad to bottom water pump

top water pump capped

 

Any ideas

Have the same issue with my 1600. However I have no vents which is a problem I am currently trying to resolve. There just isn't anywhere for the hot air to go. I hope this will be a solution to my overheating.

Got the vents, my query is the pipe work.

My thoughts ere that the bottom expansion hose should link into the bottom rad to water pump hose

Top water pump hose to inlet manifold

top rad to thermostat??

 

Hope you can get yours sorted
