The fan is a puller, I will work on fixing bottom part of shroud. I think I cut it off, OH OH ! I will fabricate something if need B.

The lower scoop is in place. I guess I need to figure out what to do with bottom of shroud, mine was always cracked so I cut it off.

That lip on the bottom is there to help direct the air UP and into the radiator area. I do not know hohw much a lower valanve costs, but I don't think that they are very much.  Ifyou can, you might look into an entier new lower valance.  just my humble. and probably useless opinion.

Ok here we go again  cruzn today and it went to 210 again. I even have the fan shroud and seals installed. I think I'm going to put the aluminum water pump back on N try that. It has been in the upper 90's here the last few days but that should not natter much I hope. My ride today was about an hr total there N back so I am at a loss for sure. Thought I had it fixed, could the electric water pump be the main issue ?  Thanks again guys, I'm becoming a regular here LOL

Hey Adrian,

I'm running a stock 82' nothing fancy.  I have the timing pulled back to stock 6* and am running regular gas. The temperature this time of year is in excess of 95* every day. My normal temp is just a needle's width above 200*.  With outside temps above 105* if I'm sitting at a stop light the engine temp will start climbing but, that is really hot outside and the Air Conditioner is blasting.  When I drive off, it comes back down and rides at my normal 205* ish. When I was using high test with the timing advanced to 12* she ran just a needle's width under 200* which is at the thermostat value of 195*.  Don't know if this will help any.  It is just what I'm observing here in the desert.

All the best.

Keith
