63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)

I'm going insane! I went for a drive varying speeds 20-50mph long straights, curvy roads, maintains 150-160 temp about 10 miles. Outside temp is 85, cloudy. If I slow down or stop at a red light, temp starts creeping up to 175. Pull into my garage, after 5 minutes reaches 199 (ac on all the time 40 degrees output), I can turn the AC off, but doesn't seem to make that much differenc. So, as long as I don't stop I'm ok. The solid fan seems to help but is rather loud like when shifting reaching 3-3500 rpms.
I do have the other flex fan coming, and could start on fabricating another shroud.

New fan coming in will probably be quieter, flex blade fan. Blades straighten out when in the upper rpms... goes quiet.

Let's see what the new fan does without the shroud. If it's the fan I am thinking, those paddles will scoop the air at low rpm.

Kind of like a clutch fan the way it "disengages" in the higher rpms.

Fingers Crossed...
