    hot weather driving

    103 degrees high temp in mid MS. today. Any problem with driving my '67's for 20 or so miles in this kind of weather if cooling system is up to snuff and oil is good? Neither of my cars overheat and I use Rotella T 10W30 oil.
    Thanks,

    There's greater probability of you suffering rather than the car- watch out for dehydration! Have a great time driving.

      No problem with that,(fingers crossed); ice cold R12 factory AC in both.

        Wimp! I live in Florida and drive with the top down all the time, and I'm a heart patient.

            Here in southern IL it was 108 today; drove my 396/425 big block coupe 57 miles 'cause I can. The engine loved it and ran at 190 degrees. It ran like a screaming "highknockageebee"; that's southern Illinois lingo for "whoopie life is good". Drive em if ya got em!!! Me, I was covered in sweat.
