The
Chevrolet cooling system is designed to properly
cool
the
engine
under
most severe operating conditions in hot
weather. A
thermostat
is used
in
the system to
restrict
the
water
circulation until
the
engine
warms
up.
In
very
cold
weather
and
under
certain driving conditions such as house-
to-house delivery where
the
engine idles a lot
or
is stopped
