Cooling issues, could use some advice

Is there a spring in the lower radiator hose to keep it from collapsing?

I installed a flow cooler water pump, increases flow 30-40%

FLOW COOLER adds extra veins and anti cavity plate to the stock water pump blades.

What kind of pulleys are you using. Stock, under drive or overdrive?

Put march pulleys on mine and they sent under drive plus had a 6 blade water pump for an AC car, wrong thing to do.

So changed to the stock dia. pulley to increase flow.

Factory Chrysler AC cars used a 6 blade water pump to slow flow and then speed up the fan with larger pulley to provide more air flow. Non air cars used 8 blade pump.

I know exactly what you are fighting and very frustrating.

It has all helped but still not there. Have a BE COOL aluminum radiator that I think is for a B Body and it just doesn't fit right.

Good luck
