All you need is the shroud to fit your radiator and fan. Is the radiator sealed at the top to make the air go thru the radiator instead of over it? What thermostat are you using? I believe 185* is correct for carb. How much timing are you running? Have you pulled a plug or two to look at the ceramic part for it to be a little tan? If they are really white, you are running too lean. I'm sure there are more folks with ideas that will chime in.
