Pietenpol-List: Cooling systems for Model A Piets

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "DJ Vegh"
1. Should I use a thermostat in the cooling system of an Air Camper powered bya Model A engine? If so, what should the thermostat's "opening" temperaturebe?2. How does one "spec out" a radiator for this arrangement? That is: insidediameter, wall thickness, arrangement, and number of cooling tubes, etc. I'velooked at a friends Model A automobile, and the radiator looks about 4 timestoo big for a Pietenpol.3. Can anyone recommend a source for a Pietenpol radiator?Thanks very much for your inputs, folks.John S________________________________________________________________________________
