Finished the cooling system on the 75' Grand Am today.

Old: corroded two row radiator
non-clutched flex fan
210 deg. thermostat
This ran 220-230 at the coolest.

New: New four row radiator
New water pump and divider plate
New hoses
New 180 deg. thermostat
New 20" six blade steel fan with heavy duty clutch
Now runs 180-185 steady!

I have an electric fan I might install if I think it needs it, especially after I warm up the currently weak 455. I'm also going to install a transmission cooler. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Brakes?! We don't need no stinking brakes!
