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?
