Just a quick question. My car is an 86 and has the original catalytic convertor on it still. My car runs pretty hot (in the 200's most of the time). I am going to have the radiator flushed, and am going to install a new thermostat asap.
1.) Would a clogged or bad cat also contribute to my temperature problem?
2.) Also, would i restore any potential lost horsepower by replacing a bad cat?
3.) One last thing. Would it be better to intall a new 160 or 180 degree thermostat?
