Thanks everyone for the help! I think I got it taken care of. I got rid of the crappy flex fan that was on there and threw a 6 blade steel fan on it. I took the car out for a quick drive, and then let it idle for about 20 minutes afterwards and it didn't creep up past 180. So I'm hoping I'm in...

You're right, it definitely needs to go at least another 1" toward the radiator. Driving around at a lower RPM, the car runs around 195, on the highway it doesn't move off of 180.

Thank you! I'll check these out!

The radiator is new. It's an aluminum 2 row. I don't see a brand or any markings on it. The fan sits flush with the shroud, and it's about 2 1/4" from the radiator. Any suggestions on a good 7 blade fan that won't break the bank?

It is a 6 blade flex fan.

That's on my agenda too!

It's a proform , with an orange box.

I'm definitely open to suggestions, Here's the specs on the pulley #29518 36 - 6 7/8" x 3"

Checked timing. I'm at 10 degrees BTDC

I agree with you. I do have a lot of paperwork for the car, but none states what water pump was purchased. I am going to check the timing, and then also pull the pump at some point.

I'll do that. The only reason I haven't. I can't find my timing light. I moved last fall, and I know it has to be in a box in the attic somewhere.

Need a little insight. I have a 72 duster with a 360 magnum. LA timing chain cover. I have an aluminum radiator, new hoses, 6 blade aftermarket fan, with a shroud. I haven't checked timing yet, and I don't know which water pump the car has. So I know those are both variables I need to check...

so 72 and older the whole thing needs to be removed?

Thank you!! I appreciate all of the information. I will definitely let you know!

Hey guys, I just picked up a 72 duster, the previous owner said he thought the heater core was starting to leak, so he bypassed it. I was going to put a new heater core in just to be safe. Does anyone have instructions or tips for an AC car? I keep reading how it's a nightmare, but no one has...

LOL .... Now I feel like I better go wash my hands ... again!!

Well I tackled the heater core today, and I ran into about everything you guys mentioned in the thread. It really wasn't as bad of a job tearing everything apart as I thought. I haven't got it put back together yet, O'Reilly ordered the wrong heater core in for my car, according to the lady...

I understand that! I can turn an hour job into an all day job pretty easily!

Thank you guys and thanks for the pictures. I really appreciate it! I'm going to tackle it tomorrow when I'm off work. Is it about a 3 hour job?

Hey guys, My windows keep fogging up on me when I use the heater in my duster, so I feel down around the heater box and sure enough its leaking. I've watched some youtube videos and did a little bit of research online to find a good tutorial on my car. The process seems pretty straight forward...

I am by no means a mechanic, but I was having the same issue on my car, and it was the water pump. When I took it out, I could tell that the teeth on the shaft had worn the housing. Once I replaced it, I ran at 190 on the interstate.
