1. Possible air lock in the cooling system, does the internal fan blow hot air? You can blead the system through small bleeding points on the water hoses.
2. Head gasket gone, do the water pipes to the rad expand under pressure?
3. Faulty thermostat. Thermostat controls the amount of water directed to the rad.
be sure there is no air trapped in the system, bleed out at high point, may need to loosen hose. radiator will get warm when therm opens. Be sure therm is installed correct direction. May need a new one.
LOOK UNDER THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT SHIELD.THERMOSTAT HOUSING HAVE COOLANT INLET PIPE CONNECTED TO IT.PAY ATTENTION TO DIRECTION OF THEMOSTAT SO YOU CAN INSTALL IT BACK IN SAME DIRECTION.
Hello dcb. The thermostat is located in the hose coming from the radiator and is located on the top of the engine on the right side. If you remove the air breather box first it will give you some room to work but the back bolt on the thermostat is really difficult to get out due to lack of room to move the wrench. Make sure the coolant is not hot before you begin. MAKE A NOTE OF THE ARROW ON THE THERMOSTAT INDICATING THE DIRECTION OF FLOW SO YOU CAN MOUNT THE NEW ONE IN THE SAME DIRECTION. Make sure you have the necessary wrenches to remove each bolt, and have the new thermostat and gasket ready to install.
All you do is lower the level of coolant within the radiator by opening the lower stop **** [unless the level is already down], then remove the two bolts and use a putty knife blade to loosen the gasket which is usually somewhat "welded" to the thermostat. Once you have the old thermostat out, scrape off any remaining gasket material and then install the new gasket and thermostat paying attention to make sure the new thermostat direction arrow is pointing in the same direction as the old one did.
your thermostat is located right under the radiator cap. it only points one direction in the tube. you should only have to pull 2 bolts to remove the peice to get to it.
You should be able to locate it where the upper radiator house attaches to the engine. At this point there is a clamp holding the hose onto a housing, remove the clamp, remove the hose, there are usually 2 bolts attaching the thermostat housing to the engine, remove the 2 bolts to remove housing, and reveal thermostat. To install a new t-stat, make sure it faces the proper direction, as u can install it backwards and the car will overheat.
You need to google it and do some searching in after market dealers and parts sales. If you go to any car shows, find someone who has a restored mustang and they will point you in the right direction.
