So what was Studebaker's 'secret' way of increasing engine temperature in Avantis operated exclusively in cold weather conditions ?

(Not a higher temp thermostat!)

Cover part of the radiator.

How about pinching or contracting a radiator hose to restric flow?

Hmmm!...I don't think pinching a hose would be a good idea, however, you are on the right track thinking 'restriction' somewhere!!:o

Wondering how you would slow the flow of coolant? giving a hotter water flowing through the motor, how about a different size water pump pully?

WOW!...I think that change in water pump pulley diameter is a very interesting thought!:o......However, that isn't the answer to this!:(

Any other thoughts on this one?.....HINT...Internal engine!!

Studebaker left more sand in blocks headed to northern climates?

Head gaskets, with smaller passages for coolant flow.
