Below is a shadetree testing method sent in by an ex-62-65  Clubhouse 
member:

Only two causes of overheating: 1) air flow  2)  water flow. 
a) Take your Mopar out to a road where you can run a constant  speed for 
about a mile or so, and be able to pull over. 
b) Get the engine  up to temperature and drive at about 45MPH, depending on 
your rear end gear  ratio. You want to pick a speed that you can shift down 
a gear and maintain  that speed. 
c) If your Mopar heats up while driving at a constant speed in  high gear, 
shift down one gear, keep the same speed, and see if the  temperature goes 
up or down. 
d) If the engine temperature goes up, then  you have a water flow problem. 
e) if the engine temperature goes down,  then you have an air flow problem. 
We learned this method back in the  1960's. — Earl H.
