How do you change the thermostat on a 1970 dodge charger?
Best done when the engine is cool.. not right after a long drive.. Follow the top radiator hose to the thermostat housing (dome).. undo the 1/2 inch bolts lift off dome.. remove thermostat.. fit new thermostat and gasket as per instructions.. replace dome and bolt it tight.. check for leaks. If you still have a overheating problem replace the temperature sender unit which should be near the thermostat housing.. it looks like a big nut with a 2 wire plug in it.. :)
