  My 37 CABRIOLET 78 760A
has been runing hot for many years, had to watch the temp gauge.
this year I replaced the water pumps for the second time
first set were rebuilt set seized up, I do not when I replaced them, but not alot of miles
made the engine turn over slow, the LS wobbled
they actully made the car shake, vibrate, I thought it was the tires

I CHOOSE Bob DRAKES,
It was better and i also tried BLUE DEVIL COOING SYSTEM cleaner [ This made a real difference ]
has it in for about 2 weeks,
dove the car for 150 miles over that period of time,
NOW it runs so much better,
this is without the thermostats.
will now try with them installed.
just wanted to PASS THIS INFO on,
MY 2 cents , 37 RAGOPMAN , MAINE

  This post is giving me a flash of dejavu all over again.

And I predict someone will soon advise to not leave the Blue Devil in the cooling system.
