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. -

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 -

Fabio Parede replied to Fabio Parede's topic in General Pontiac Discussion
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 -
