OK .... I changed my mind ... instead of buying the used radiator I am now waiting on Griffin for my new radiator. It is a two row with 1" tubing. I hope I can go pick it up sometime next week! I'm also going install the mechanical fan back on and install the electric fan in front of the new radiator as a pusher. I've ordered a shroud also. I hope this will get the temp down and eliminate the fuel vapor lock or whatever it is that's getting to hot. I was in between a heat problem or trash in the gas tank and kind of assuming might be both. But after I got the car on the hwy and saw the temp just kept rising then I new the radiator wasn't cutting it. I figured I would take care of the heat issue first.
The only shroud I could find was a reproduction shroud from Mancini which is for a 16" fan. The fan I have is a 18" fan and to be honest it was very close to my upper radiator hose. I mean it was less than a 1/2" away from the hose. I didn't like that.
Question... does a 16" fan shroud mean that I need a 15" fan blade or is the shroud already made bigger than a 16" fan blade? I hope that makes sense.
