Thanks Fred and Rick,

I'm running an oil cooler and a tranny cooler.... they're finned cylindrical units and they're in front of the radiator top and bottom...I'm wondering if moving those out from in front of the radiator would make a significant difference in cooling capacity? It would be a PITA but I'd be willing if it would contribute.

Primarily I'm hoping that I can run at 210-215F summertimes without longterm adverse effect on engine quality or longevity. I presume Fred that you don't think that would be the effect. By moving the timing back a couple of degrees 10 degrees cooler, wow that's a real bonus...I'll give that a try! I'm running 15 degrees base with 32 total in by 3200 RPM.

Thanks again for your responses

Regards,

Dirk
