Richard:
The fourth option is the only one that will work.  Pull  out that tired 
radiator and have it re cored.  BTW the high flow impeller  is a waste of time, 
effort and money.

It  looks like I have two options to help out the underperforming  radiator:

1. The original fan doesn't seem to do the best job drawing  air in. Moss 
sells a conversion kit that fits the much-improved six bladed  yellow fan. 
Cost: 
$240

2. Remove fan altogether and go electric. My  guess is this will get the most 
airflow going. But will I miss the old fan and  rush of air sound? I feel 
like I might be taking something away from the car  by removing the fan. Cost: 
Less than $200.

Well, there might be an  option 3: rebuild the water pump with a high flow 
impeller. Is this worth  it?


TIA -  Richard
