Try replacing the thermostatic switch to turn on the electric fan sooner. I,
too,
have a '79 Spitfire and found this to be quite adequate for stop and go driving.
I also replaced the thermostat with a 160' one. I am not sure about your water
pump being the problem. If it's leaking, replace the gasket. Unless it's the
water pump housing that's leaking, replace the water pump. Is everything out
of the radiator that might be causing blockage inside? Try replacing that
switch
I mentioned earlier.

I have 1 1979 Spit. I have replaced the thermostat, head gasket. I have
totally flushed out the system, and replaced the radiator cap and it still
overheats. The only piece I have not touched is the water pump? Could this
be the problem? Thanks...
