fe pulleys whats best

[wrench87]

I have the edelbrock waterpump how much more does this flow over a stock fe pump?. I am wondering if i slow it down 1 to 1 or slightly under drive it if the coolant would spend more time in the radiator to cool it down.
any opinions?

Yep, more time in the radiator extracts more heat ..and therefore a cooler coolant into the engine.

I would verify the temps your gauge is giving you before going too far. That is if you haven't already.

I am going to get one of the adjustable probe like fan thermostats so I can adjust the temp the fans come on and off. I noticed on the kirkham site they no longer list the pulleys but i thught they were one to one?

I took the car out yesterday put some more miles on it it runs great, i just have to watch the temp guage and turn on the fans in stop in go traffic until i can get a automatic set up installed.

A common wives' tail that seems to continue with internet parroting... Slow down your waterpump and see what happens.

The Edelbrock pump's output increase is minimal.
