Amazing car

Hello guys. Good news. I Changed the water pump pulley from 8" to 6" like you suggested and turn on the car. The car temperature now, stopped, it´s about 88 celsius 190 F. Ouside temperaure about 86 F. Temperature almost dont changed for about 15 min with the car parked. I think the problem were solved. Now I´ll change the blade for a GM 18" with clutch to improve more. I DON´T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE HELP, INFORMATIONS AND PACIENCE.

Almost 2". Actually I use a 18" blade and I think 20" will not fit. Almost 20. But I think a 20" blade will not fit. A put a kind of paper At mine blade increasing 1" and 2". For more 1 (19" total) is ok. For 2" no.

Thank you man. I will start changing the fan blade for one bigger and with flta blades like last indian said, and change the water pump pulley.

Hey Man, thanks again. For now, I will change the Fan and the water pump pulley. Is my Shroud the correct one? One again, thank you so much

I have anothers doubts: My Shroud appears to be original. My fan appears to be from Mopar (Dodge Dart) 7 blades and 18 inches. My water pump pulley has 8" and the main pulley (from crankshaft) is about 6 1/2". Is That correct? Because with this configuration the water pump will rotate less than the motor. I´m correct? I have a A/C Non Original installed but not working. Only the hoses conected, no gas, no compressor belt, no electrical power to the vent inside the car. Those hoses get very hot when the engine works. Can I eliminate that hoses? I have no intention to put A/C to work (I think I will increase even more temperature) I did not tested the Thermostat, its a "normal" 180 F (not high flow) Any suggestions? Thank you guys

Thanks Man. My Fan is a 7 blade, 18 inch total size. Yes, shroud in place. Radiador original rebuild.

My car is runnig up to 210 F when in trasit. Sometimes increases. On the road, up to 60 mph about 170-180 F. I have a brand new radiator, a new water pump (Like original 11 bolts and cast impeler), a thermostat for 180 F (but not for high volume), original pulley, shroud in place, fresh new coolant, 16 lbs radiator cap. I tested the temperature indicator and its ok. I have a Holley 0-80555C 650CFM Spread Bore Electric Choke Vacuum Secondaries I don´t know where to look first. I´ll appreciate any help

What is the correct range of temperature for a Catalina with 428 engine? I´m a little bit concearned about it and I didnt find this information. Thanks in advance
