Thanks for your recommendations on my over-heating problems (see recent thread). My timing was a little off (no improvement) and my carb is set perfect (lean/rich mixture and floats). Still having the same problems. I'm ditching the heavy duty radiator for one slimmer.
Can someone please confirm for me a configuration that really fits. I would love to convert to a Mustang/Taurus type electric fan and upgrade the alternator, but I'm afraid they are too thick? I have very little space between the water pump pulley and the radiator. I also have a Vintage Air A/C compressor to contend with (protrudes out the top portion of the motor and requires a fan spacer to clear. Also places the fan too close to the radiator).
The serpentine conversion is the real deal, but I can't afford it right now. I have already disassembled the whole system once and I want to ensure this will be the last time I have to worry about the cooling system for a while. Please help!
I'll send you pictures of the quagmire if it would help you visualize my problem. Thanks again!
