To answer a few questions:
I have been reluctant to get the car much past the neighborhood in fact since this latest problem I don't think I have gone 30 mph.
I am using standard March Alum pulleys. My thermostat is a 180 degree w/ a 1/4" hole drilled in the top corner. My old fan was only about 800-900 cfm and runs all the time. I only used one gallon of
antifreeze to my mixture so I figure it was about 50-50.
The temp here last weekend was in the mid 70's and most of my problems came while I was still in the garage. May be the combination of not moving forward and a small inadequate fan is causing my problem. But within 10 minutes my temperature was past 220 degrees.
Hopefully, the fan will do the trick. I am also going to pull my water pump back off and check it for debris etc as well as my engine ports. This is probably something very small but I know come July when it is 95 degrees I don't want to be caught on the side of the road wishing I had done something else.
