Default New cooling fix

I know many people here are running the ebay kit (or PTS kit)...

Sooner or later, you're going to run into ECT's being higher than you wish...



The summer here just got brutal, and in bumper to bumper traffic my ECT's were at around 212... If the car stopped moving, they shot up to 230...

With the AC off.


I had a Flex-a-Lite puller on the radiator on the passenger side, and a FAL pusher on the driver's side.


FAL makes a DUAL pusher, the FAL 440, whose thickness remains at 2 5/8" and the width is 26".

With the condenser in the stock location, it is a TIGHT fit, but it can be done. I just finished installing it today and took off the single pusher.

Now, with dual pushers and the one puller, it idles at a complete stop at 190 and with the AC on at 210... Moving good, under 190 either way...

That's pretty good for me... It's really humid here, not easy for anything to cool... Much more fun to drive the car.

Thought some of you might like the idea, especially the EBAY guys.

I should mention, my cowl/weatherstripping is cut. At a stop, the air exits right by the windshield very smoothly.

I have a turbo blanket.

I'm running orange dexcool and filtered water, 50/50, radiator and condenser in the stock location, stock radiator.
