Anyone have an opinion regarding using a new 6 blade aluminum fan (like a perma-cool or flex-a-lite)?  My car stayed nice and cool last year while driving, but when it comes to parade driving or woodward style crusin' the temp sky rockets. 

Also, I've got a mechanical auto meter water temp gauge that i have yet to install because the tap for the stock sensor is too small.  Anyone know of an adapter for this, or should I just try to tap another hole?  If I should put another hole whats a good location... in front of the carb by the stat housing?

P.S.  Just finished adjusting the valve lash using the thread from april, and it was WAY easier than i thought it would be.  I have a feeling that was my "tick" problem.  Some of them were over .030" of spacing... 

Thanks guys!
