Well guys I need some help!
I got my 29 RPU on the road a few months ago and I am fighting high temp problems all the time. First of the motor is a bone stock 70 Chevy 350 with a TH400 and a 9" rear with 4.10 gears. The radiator is a new 60's Mustang unit that is about 18"x18" w/tanks. I have a 15" regular 6 blade fan on the engine side and a 14" electric fan pushing through the radiator.
First off I live in Bakersfield, CA and this time of year it is 95-100 every day. If I go for a 15 min. cruse on city streets with stops now & then the Temp will go up to 220-230 deg even with the electric fan on. Have half & Half antifreeze in the system. I have tried with and without the thermastate with no difference. The water pump is new also.
I am running out of ideas to check. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM [S
Put in a few pictures so you can see the radiator in the car.
