well my 87 t type is running a little warm since i guess its too humid and hot out now. umm the engine service light came on, i let it cool down for about 30 minutes and it was fine. the turbo i have as a garrett ta-49 and a stock intercooler, anyone know any ways to cool this baby down?

What was the code? Are you sure it was overheating related?

As far as cooling ...


Ensure the coolant levels are correct
Enusre coolant to water mixture is 50/50. You can use a cheap antifreeze tester available at any auto parts store to test it
Have the radiator serviced .. it may need to be rodded and boiled. Worst case, it may need to be recored and if so, there are some excellent high perf cores available.
Make sure the fan is functioning properly
Make sure any shrouding around the radiator isn't loose or torn

Is your thermostat playin games? how bout that scale buildup,, where it sorta blocks water flow a little. could that contribute to a little higher temps?
