after I installed a/c on my 55 It will ran hot when its 95+ and in slow traffic under 25 My temp will go up to 210-215 if I turn the heater on it will drop 10 degress but that's no fun when its 95+(car nevers boil over)Im sure that the problem is air flow to the rad because of the a/c condenser I have try mounting the condenser as far away as you can from rad 3-4" but it didn't help The rad, thermostat and water pump have been replace also block was clean when it was rebuild it has a 6 blade fan and shroud I have also try a pusher fan and water wetter Here's the ? Im think about installing a remote transmission cooler kit (page 213 speedway) not on the transmission but on the heater core hoses and run the engine coolant through it .Has anyone try this and did it work?
