What Max says here is true. I suggest if your A is overheating you
refer to the wealth of information at Barney Gaylords site:

Personally, first check your actually temperature with a
thermometer. You can easily open your radiator since it is not a
sealed system. (use a rag, it is still hot!) Most gauges are
incorrect. I run a blanking plate with themostat, (essential for hot
weather, harder to warm up in cold) and I supplement cooling with an
electric fan (I still have my fan blades. there is nothing wrong with
using both). In really hot weather the electric works well.
I also have my original radiator which has never been soldered shut
by a radiator shop.

Good suggestions; thanks Mike.
I'm curious about the banking plate with thermostat. Can you tell me more
about that? I thought you either ran a blanking plate OR a thermostat, not
both. How do you combine the two, and how does this keep things cooler?
