i did a quick search on the temp fan controller. it says it turns the fan on at 185*-215*. quite the range.
but yes, id like to be able to kick that on, maybe a manual toggle switch too? how do I do an ignition switched ground manual switch? LOL. Thats pretty easy.. you run a wire from a positive source to the hot on the controller and ground the negative... I have one on my hot rod for when I run at the track.. if you wanted to you can have it on a timer so it shuts off on its own

It sounds as though the new pump and T-stat are doing their job. The rad is doing it's job of exchanging heat as the temps do drop. Double check the sending unit for its on/off temp. Once that side of the equation is dialed in, you can work on the timing and AFR to finish the problem. An adjustable fan controller may be the ticket here as well??
Also, the last pic you have of your rad shows a shroud. Is it sealed up tight to the rad, or does it have some way for air to move through and then out at speed?? The shroud is riveted tight to the radiator. I don't think much if any air can escape it. this is the "restricted" 440 source housing

What is initial timing and what is advance all in? What rpm does the advance come in at? What rpm are you cruising at? Maybe a plug pic? after a steady cruise pull over and pull plug
Have you adjusted the idle mixture screws to make it run little rich see if that helps? I haven't checked all in timing... I know I know. cruising it at 2000ish. low speed, no issues there, its just off idle pop. ill post a plug pic later today
