Subject: Running Warm

I installed a new and now my Coronet is definitely running warmer than
it should.

Here's the list...
318 Poly, Mild cam, 4-bbl
New 4-core copper radiator (US Radiator)
New 180 deg thermostat
New 16LB cap

No known issue with the water pump.
7-blade fan w/ clutch (seems to be working) ~1 inch from the rad.
No fan shroud

I swapped the previous 3-core radiator out because it was leaking.
With the 3-core setup (no shroud) it never got as hot as fast as it
does now. In fact after sitting just a few minutes at a light, this
4-core gets as hot as the 3-core rad did on only the hottest days in
July/August.

I know the lack of a shroud is 1 problem, but I just can't shell out
$250 +$50 for mounting hardware for it right now.

Considering I basically swapped only the rad, it should be acting
better than this.

Any thoughts?
