Total Bus Height-plus my radiator works great, to great!

[espee4441]

Okay here's my two cents on bus height. Even here in the West, I
think anything over twelve' six" is a accident waitin' to happen. Last
year I drove to my cousins in Bucoda, Wash, and if any of the other
Western Wash members here on the list know what I am talking about,
the road that is the first exit south of Olympia goes to Tenino has a
bridge that lets the BN railroad cross over the state highway, yep,
its only twelve' six", I saw this as I was doing fifty five and I
could only hope that I had the clearance, Clarence!,(sorry, couldn't
resist) Thank God I did...

So moral of my lil' ditty, even though heights out west are a bit
better than back east, one never knows where one will find the lowest
point above us...

As for my radiator, it definitely does the job, to well as a matter
of fact. As some of you may remember, I had it rebuilt last summer,
and had another section added to the core.

Rarely does the temp exceed 160-165 now. On climbs it get up to 180,
where it should be normally. The good news is that this will allow me
the room now to turn up the fuel screw from 270 horsepower to a full
300 hopefully. I'm thinking that adding another oil cooler would be a
good idea, anybody here done an add-on before?

Plus, with all the news about this Mr. Davis character, could someone
please tell me where his outfit is located? I want to avoid it at all
possible costs. In three to five years I plan on bumping up to a PT38,
or PT40 if I have to, so you know what I mean?!

Also, on the thread a week or so back about PT36s vs. PT38s, does the
PT36 really have less room than my FC33? Also, can't someone just drop
a 8V-92 in place of the 6V-92? What about skipping both and just
putting a Series 60 in? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks in Advance!!! Have a great night.
