I need help with my husbands Barracuda...please?
 
He has a 1970 Barracuda that is in really good shape, new paint, interior, ect...

BUT the SOB ALWAYS overheats within a few miles of driving it. They have tried everything to get it to stop, new radiator, double fans.

Is there anyone out there that knows the trick to this? I would love to get this thing running good for him for Fathers Day! :o)

Thanks so much!:D

I would have to assume that the water jackets have been flushed to clear any debris or anything in there.

Is the water pump working, which is also a common problem for over heating.

Thats all I can think of for diagnosing the problem, maybe someone else has some other ideas.

Water jackets have been flushed and cleaned. We need to buy a new water pump, and want an aluminum one. Which water pump is the best one to buy? Thanks again!
