Harry:
Have you given any thought to going to the double core radiator and the 5
blade fan.
When I had my engine rebuilt and balanced, I went to the double core
radiator and the 5 blade fan.
I have a 170 thermostat and here in Florida in the heat, after a long stop
for traffic lights, the gauge goes to 190 and drops right back as soon as I
pull away.
