HI,
Since the cam change I'm having a over warming condition over halfway on the stock gauge It used to run less than half way .. Well going from the 5 blade fan to a 7 blade help in keeping it cooler. Radiator has been cleaned
 
Do you have a shroud? Also have you checked your fan clutch for resistance? A free spinning fan clutch is not going to cool. If it has some resistance it should be good to go.
 
HI,
No clutch on the fan and no shroud? I don't remember if it came with one when I rebuilt it like 6years ago.. If it had one I'm sure I would have installed it back on...
 
HI
NO AC. So no shroud then..
As for timing. Not sure? I'll put an light on it tomorrow . When I installed the cam I timed it by vacuum .. got max vacuum and backed it off 2 ".. It runs real strong no missing or pinging at WOT to shift point. its running about 16"vacuum.

It still most likely had a shroud. Just a/c cars all seemed to have them.
 
HI,
OK I bought it used so I'm not sure if it had one or not.. I've owned it for almost 10 years got almost 50T on the rebuild, it just had a bad timing gear (plastic factory junk) but I rebuilt it anyway.. It only has 92,000 on the meter.. When I rebuilt there was NO junk or goop in the heads or corners of the valley very clean motor..
 
Fan shroud and Flowkooler water pump & hi flow thermostat should make a big difference.
 
HI,
Tho I appreciate all the reply's.. No one has answered my original question..
Well a switch from a 5 blade to a 7 blade fan help in cooling?? Well it move more air?
