I removed the fan that was incorrect for the reverse flow water pump. I added a high CFM electric fan, changed the thermostat and radiator cap as...

The problem is fixed and I do appreciate all the help from you guys. Just found out I have to pay a large chunk of change for nursing school next...
My cousin runs one on his Plymouth Belvedere. Why not add an aftermarket temp gauge (good one, not a cheapo) just for peace of mind? The radiator...
Actually, I have done almost everything advised to me in this thread. I've received a lot of good advice and followed it and my problems are...
Never heard of this? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I would love to. Don't know if anyone around here that does it though. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The engine bay is basically a coffin. Huge inner fenders, motor tucked tight between frame rails, not much air can flow. It's basically an oven...
Well fellas, I've opted to go with a higher CFM electric fan as opposed to a mechanical. As one of the above posts had suggested (and I didn't...
You guys think I will be okay running this fan?...
I drove the panel 10-12 miles today around town to see how it would act. Remember, I have only removed the mechanical fan thus far and the...
I've also done some research on this fan and it's a 1730 CFM. Is this enough or should I get something with more CFM? Where should I be in terms...
So I've gotten a general consensus that the 160* I put in should be changed back to a 195*? Can someone elaborate on this please? Sent from my...
I did use the old style intake gaskets so I don't believe I have a restriction there. The old style are open on both ends. Sent from my iPhone...
So I remove the thermostat, reassemble and look for coolant flow through the radiator fill neck? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I did replace the intake. I was unaware that they had to go a certain way, so there's a possibility they are on backwards. Sent from my iPhone...
Thanks again guys. I will be back on this tomorrow and will be taking your advice. I hope to drive it more tomorrow and put more miles on it to...
I don't know how many cfm this fan is. The only marking on it is 12v and 80w. It can hold a piece of newspaper against the outside of the radiator...
So I've been tinkering with the panel today. I removed the flex fan and left the electric fan on it for idle just to see what difference it would...
Small (somewhat of an) update. I took the mechanical fan off just now and turned on the electric fan. It know can hold a piece of newspaper on the...
No need to be sorry! I appreciate all the help! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thank you. I plan on pulling the fan today and am going to "burp" the system as well as add an overflow. I will replace with the proper fan and...
So something like this instead? http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/2104/10002/-1?parentProductId=745125 Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....
I see now that the pitch of the fan blades are reversed. I was under the impression that you could just turn the fan around. After doing some...
I plugged the bypass system. The intake is on there because I got a good deal on it and it was machined out already to work on the newer style...
I used gaskets for the older style SBC. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I will be sure to change that as well! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
If it's something original or older, I prefer to try and fix and salvage what I can. Mainly for the pure fact that "stuff just ain't made like it...
That would be amazing!! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Okay guys. I can't thank you enough. I've (believe it or not) ran into this problem a few years back on a 50s Chevy pickup I was building. It...
