If you own a 1963-1982 Corvette, chances are you ask, “Why does my car run hot and overheat?” There are lots of possible reasons, and your Corvette may or may not be overheating at all.

We’ll focus primarily on 1963-1982 Corvettes for specifics, as they share similar designs, although the principles are similar for later cars.
