Make sure your fan is in the right place in regards to forward and
backwards. I think it makes a lot of difference with just minor adjustments
because if it isn't centered in the shroud up and down and forward and
backward and the right diameter, it isn't efficient. If you don't have a
shroud it needs to be as close to the radiator as is safe. Also make sure
the timing isn't retarded (yes retarded) because that will cause overheating
at slow speeds too. If that isn't it have the radiator rodded out-- Bill --

Subject: [Tigers] How hot is hot ?
Got my new baby delivered by truck this afternoon and took her for a warm
evening
So Cal drive. On the hiway temp gauge indicated 180 or so but going two
blocks at a time red light
to red light to red light she was a bit over 200, maybe 210. External temp
was about 92.
Car has a stock radiator and 4 blade fan. At what point is temperature a
concern ?
Thanks
