    Is the fan a reproduction 5 blade fan?  I originally had that type on my 1969 Mach 1 with a 351W and it didn't move much air, especially at idle.  I found a stock 6 blade clutch fan from a 1969 Cougar with a 351W and installed it with a new Hayden clutch.  It works much better.

    no its a factory ford one for my 70 i am putting the thermo back on but have boxed the shroud to give it more clearance from the core and using a ford factory single fan from a falcon or territory it move a shit load of air see if that makes a difference

    using both my stock one and the digital sniper one also using laser to check, the sniper readout is the one i use mostly ,once it gets hot say 200 ish it puts my analogue one at just past half way 206-212 its at about 3/4 on gauge .

    I am toying with the idea of a hi flow thermo stat either 180 -190, the fans I don't know i need a shrouded one electric maybe, the one i had the shroud was too shallow so couldnt pull enough air across the whole core and at speed would block air to the core

    i have a 357 long rod,2v small chamber heads, small cam,not a big hp engine but just warm, and yes the right thermostat at 180 deg ,2500 stall, hyper spark and sniper setup and ac i cant seem to stop heat creep at idle its not timing tried that.
    i have a new 24"x16" 3 core rad with 5/8 tubes, shroud and steel blade fan,which i replaced the 4 core one with, i took off the Elec fan and shroud it was too shallow  as it was blocking the radiator air flow now i cools just fine at speed as long as I'm moving but at idle it starts to creep if the ac is on . ,here is the spec from my repair manual should i be trying to run in these temp ranges maybe i go to a 190 deg thermo and take out the 180 as it would be running flat out all the time
