69 Dodge Dart - Questions (HELP)

[kaseyjenk]

I have a 1969 Dodge Dart with an 86 360 four barrel high rise aluminum intake. I bought the car about 6 months ago and it had a flex fan on the waterpump and a 10" assist fan infront of the radiator. The guy i bought it from said he had to use the electric fan when he was riding in the hot summer weather down in Jacksonville, since then weve added the AC unit and after we put the condensor on the front we had to take the electric fan off - it still wants to run warm with the AC off, when you stop or are idling the temperature proceeds to climb, so we removed the flex fan and installed a 17" electric fan as long as youre driving theres not much of a problem, but the time you start stopping for in town traffic the temperature starts rising and doesnt want to cool off. I had the radiator cleaned then i replaced the radiator with a 2 1in flue aluminum radiator which came with a shroud and 2 10" 3000cfm fans which they were too thick, so i had to remove the shroud and the fans and put the electric fan back on and the temperature is still climbing with the AC off, does any one have an idea on what i can do now? It has a new waterpump as well. The engine was supposedly rebuilt.

First thing I'd try is a good name brand thermostat. Stant used to be, I don't know anymore.

Many aftermarket electric fans are not adequate capacity, and glass flex fans are a wast of time.
