Yes, very nice indeed.
How's the radiator working out? I have 'issues' with my set up.

Re: 69 A-100 DODGE
ITRUNS ARE YOU RUNNING THE SAME RAD?? MOVING IT RUNSCOOL . I WAS STUCK IN A HIWAY TRAFFIC JAM AND IT STARTED TO OVERHEAT . I AM RUNNING A OLD TYPE 5 BLADE FAN I NEED TO FIND A 7 BLADE OR A ELECTRIC FAN . THE ENGINE WAS NOT COMPLETEY TUNED IN SO I THINK THAT HURT. OVER THE WINTER I'LL STEP UP THE ALTERNATER TO 90 AMP. SO I CAN TRY A ELECTRIC FAN ALTHOU I AM NOT RUNNING A FAN SHROUD YET.

Re: 69 A-100 DODGE
I believe so. I have the Ter' aluminum tugboat radiator. I didn't overheat with the stock rad, but I put that one in the parts van. I had mine hooked up like yours with the inlet and outlet on the same side + I had a custom shroud made up (which was a PITA). On the way home on a hot day, I had the heater on and the hood cracked open. That was a party.
I switched the inlet to the other side, removed the shroud, blocked off some around the end of the bellypan + added a scoop to the new belly pan. That helped, but it still overheats on a hot day in traffic + it won't turn over if it's too hot. I see a new starter in it's future.
Yeah, if I'm moving, everything's fine. It's when I'm sitting in traffic on warm/hot days that the fun starts. I too was thinking of either swapping in a new blade or installing an electric fan setup. Also thinking a boat bilge blower in the doghouse might help as well.
