Another work day done and no closer to it running cooler.

I swapped the radiator from a top to bottom flow to cross flow style, the top to bottom is 3- 5/8" tubes inside, and the cross flow is 2- 1" cores.

I added a spal fan that flows a unreal amount of air... i can feel it pulling air from a 14"-16" in front of the radiator.

i turned the idle up to 1000-1100 and richened the carb. it stinks when idling.

it hits 220 and drop back to 205 and lives in between 210*-220*

What gives????

The top of the radiator (the return) is very hot by the time it makes it way down to the bottom inlet i can hold my hand on the radiator.
I have tried multiple gauges, sending units.. they are all very close.


Cam timing be off???? any ideas?
