Re: Change of radiator core affecting cooling performance in 1949, 23rd series

Joe;
I think I have some information to answer your question on whether a 'small diameter' thermostat will affect the coolant temperature. The short answer is maybe at low outside air temperatures, and very likely yes at higher outside air temperatures. The reason for the two answers is for low outside air temperature only a small flow area is needed and this area is achievable with either thermostat. At some elevated outside air temperature the small thermostat is full open, but the larger thermostat is not at full stroke. See attached file for the excessively long answer.
What I would like to know are your results with the electric cooling fan . . . the 6 volt version, not the one time 110 volt fan experiment.
