First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I was looking thru Classic Industries catolog last night and they sell a high capacity water pump that they say moves 20% more water for $90. Might be worth it with all the problems of these things running hot.

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... For you guys having overheating problems, it could be the water pump. The original water pump had a cast impeller, but all of the generic replacement water pumps I have seen have one made of a pressed piece of flat metal. I changed over to an original style pump and it helped mine out.

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ........................................................................ . My bird has the same problems except everything is tight with mine.(shroud, fan clutch, oversized radiator) It does fine as long as I am moving but as soon as I stop for an extended period...(long stoplight) the temp gradually starts on its way up. I am going to try some wetting additive this weekend...last resort I guess.
