It will be summer in Florida soon.  My 55 TBird doesn't run hot unless I get caught in traffic.  As soon as the car moves it cools back down to 170-180.   I have an older stock radiator, a 170 degree thermostat and a multi blade stainless fan.  I'm thinking about installing an aluminum radiator and electric fan combo to help with summer driving. Will this make a difference?
