Hey I just got a new buick judt to drive around when the weather is bad. Its a 95 Regal. Messed up body but drives good. For awhile. It over heats in like 5min. I think its the theremostat. Does anybody know if these are easy to put in. It the base engine with no super charger. The enginge bay is cramped. Nothing like my 65 Skylark. THANK YOU:ball:
I have a 92 Regal & had to change the thermostat out of mine last year. Not much harder than changing the 'stat on your 65 really. The big issue though is whether or not the bolts are seized into the intake. They're 'wet' bolts, i.e., they go into the water jacket. If that bolt snaps off or strips out the aluminum in the intake... wel you can guess how much fun that'll be. I wouldn't jump to conclusions on it being a thermostat though. Check to make sure the cooling fan is working. I've seen a lot of small GM engines with a bad temperature switch controlling the electric fan.
