1970 Firebird with a 1971 Pontiac 350. Car overheats and shuts off. It does this after idling for approx 20 minutes. After about 75 - 90 minutes it will start right up again. All hoses feel correct, radiator is cool to the touch, coolant appears to be circulating freely, AND there is never any steam or smoke. This all led me to believe it might be an electrical issue. Last week I had the alternator and the ignition coil replaced (spent $500!), But the problem still exists. Sticking thermostat crossed my mind but past experience tells me that would be an obvious overheat, i.E. Steam, smoke, etc. Any ideas? Would LOVE to start spending on brakes, susp, interior and paint, but no point until this issue is corrected! HELP!
