I had my radiator recorded for a couple hundred dollars & it made a  
significant difference here in Phoenix.  For a couple dollars more the  
radiator shop put a piece of angle stock on both side for solid  
mounting of the electric fan.  Even in our common 115F summer days the  
car seldom gets about 185F.

I also had the shop put on a modern cap neck that is designed to be  
used with an overflow bottle.  http://members.cox.net/60tr3a/radiator.html

I also put an air dam based on the advice of fellow Arizonian Geo  
Hahn.  http://members.cox.net/60tr3a/Air-Dam.html

And last I had a the shop install a bung in the top of the radiator  
that would allow for the use of a modern electronic thermostat to  
control the electric fan.  also see http://members.cox.net/60tr3a/radiator.html
