Overheating at Idle - 1966 Corvette with L-36 and C-60

Overheating may be experienced in the field on early production 1966 Corvettes equipped with the L-36 engine and air conditioning. Complaints of this nature may be due to the use of a 5.90" diameter water pump and fan pulley. Replace the 5.90 diameter pulledy with a 5.39 diameter water pump and fan pully, and then change belts as necessary.

In addition to the pulley substitution, the top of the radiator support should be checked to determine if the radiator support seal has been installed. Some early production Corvettes were built without this seal. If no seal is present, one should be installed. The effective production date for both the pulley and seal will be supplied when available.
