Overheating -- Corrective measure questions.

The only way to move the fan out of the shroud is to move the radiator forward. For some reason it has a 1" offset flange that sets it back from the core support by an inch. Would that be enough?


Gettin rid of that GAWD AWFUL accordion upper hose will sure make it look better AND it will increase flow as well. 86 the bottom one too if you have one there. They look stupid anyway. Chevy stuff. lol No offense.

Yea, that upper hose was a bandaid that stayed there. I have been meaning to replace it but have not found the correct one. There was not a 440 in a 73 scamp. Maybe I can look for one out of another model. Lower one is correct.
