The new Chicago G 10 Guy. Back.

Hey Guys,

Been tied up w/daily nonsense over the past week or so. The van ended up needing a fuel pump. (I backed it all the way down to my garage door, turned it off, a day or so later............nothing) The rain FINALLY stopped here, I replaced the pump so it's running again. It has a small block in place of the six. But I can tell (even when it hasn't been really hot) that I might have some running hot/overheating issues.

Would you guys have some pointers on keeping it cool? It has the stock radiator w/a clutch fan. Does anyone have a line on aluminum radiators or installing a larger radiator w/an electric fan etc??

I'll get some pics on this week. PROMISE. Thanks

Here's a couple of threads on radiators...if you search through the forums...old and new...there's alot of talk about cooling....
Hope this helps. I just got my electric Mark VIII fan in a couple of weeks ago but haven't got to the point of starting up my engine yet...wish I could be more help.
I'll post a pic with the fan installed tomorrow.

Thanks Mo,

I'll dig through some past posts. I appreciate the leads.
