quick 52 wrote:if it will cool while moving its not the rad... had the problem with my 52 F!... fan is not pulling enough air at idle put a large box fan in front of the car blowing at the rad. and test if this will cool it at idle.. if it does u know it air flow cross the rad. if not the pump is not flowing enough water raise the rpm to see if that helps... I would bet its the fan was on mine had to step up to a elec. fan get a large oem fan from a Lincoln they pull around 40 amps ... amps are hp just like ci. if u want cfm u need 40 plus amps the cheap ones wont do it amps is power... if FORD, GM, CHSYLER could do it with 10 amps they would but there million of $$$$$ R&D say u need power amps
