It seems this subject has been hashed & re-hashed but I need an (some) opinions on my situation. I have a '39 Ford two door sedan, standard model. I made a core support and installed a brass Mustang radiator because of the space limitations. In the Illinois heat(95-100 degrees) it creeps up to 210 in traffic but I know it could run cooler.
As I see it, my options are:
1) replace my 14" Spal fan with a 16" Spal fan(pusher)
2) buy a 2 row(one inch tubes)aluminum radiator
3) move the radiator forward 3/4" and run a puller fan, deleting the mechanical
4) get a taller radiator that would still fit the car
5) get a Cooling Components assembly with the matching relays
If any of these, or a combination of these make sense please advice me. I'll be going to the Frog Follies in a week and I'll be shopping. Other than that, it's eBay. Thanks in advance, Rod
