Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

I say when it comes to cooling, " the devil is in the d etails"?? add up all these small factors and the sm of which is what makes it cool!! ??

and.... there are repops of OEM pullies, also, aftermarket sizes, and like the guy above, MoparTim, finding a vender with OEM 7 blade fans should not be hard. the hood to shroud is said to be very important, and an item often missing, some cars had a seal at top edge of underside of hood too didn't they?

I am always amazed at the u nmber of members on here that seem to have cooling issues.

The 7 blade fan blades I had found for thermostatic clutch assemblies were too big for my shroud. This is a 22 inch radiator, so the opening in the shroud is less than 20 inch.
The 7 blade fixed fans I found so far were on E-bay, and I missed out on those.
The title of this thread, Do all A-bodies overheat, was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek. As stated before, this car came from the factory with a 22 inch radiator, no shroud, and a 4 blade fixed fan. It was a smaller engine, 2 bbl carb and single exhaust. But I'd like to believe that this car did not have overheating problems when new. That's why I was asking for ideas.
