Re: cooling issue

[Jeff <chargr1969@xxxxxxxxx>]

previous e-mails about this problem has been asked. one person got a new radiator and solved the problem. i had the same problem and put a new clutch fan on along with water wetter (an additive for the antifreeze). the car now runs 160 degrees. stop and go it won't go above 180. make sure you have a fan shroud. good luck. jeff
