1971 Charger Superbee w 383 - 69,xxx original mile engine.
NEW radiator.
New hoses.
New thermostat.
New water pump.
New coolant.

No clutch fan - direct drive fan.
Two years ago (Sep 2009) - we made it 1,000 mile round trip to St. Louis for Monster Mopar Weekend. No cooling problems.

Come home and back in the hive the Bee goes. Drive it a time or two and then in Sep 2010 I drive it to work and on the way home, the temp gauge reaches "uncomfortable".... (YOU KNOW - that white mark on the temp gauge to the far right?)
