Lightbulb Some info on my cooling system

My West Coast cobra has a vertical radiator, it therefore will cool better than one set at an angle...having gotten past that, however, my car will have a 7 row heavy duty radiator, and the puller fan....only
This, according to Vern Redel, is plenty of cooling for my 514 SVO....if I need more, during desert heat, I will add Red Line Water Wetter, which will certainly drop the temp.

Pusher fans will disrupt the air flow, as stated in the earlier posts. Certainly try the water wetter before you spend any money and make any other mods.

Your next move should be an OIL cooler, IF you still experience overheating....set it in the lower front intake, below the radiator...I promise you your temps will drop !
Use 1/2 mininum internal hosing for the oil lines.
