Fans from a Ford Focus two electric fans in a plastic shroud fits right in place of the stock fan shroud. One of the members here suggested them he runs them on his Mustang and he lives in Cali. I thinks its fairly warm there.

It has run hot before the rebuild but never overheats. I guess I'm being more careful because this rebuild cost a small fortune between the forged crank roller valvetrain and the Victor purchase and porting bla bla. Timing is locked at 35 deg. Radiator is not a cross flow but probably a Chinese aluminum rad its pretty thick might be junk I'm not sure. Cavitation I have no clue how to check that, I think I slowly out grew something on the cooling system. If it didn't cool off when idling I would say its the radiator. Somehow I think its an airflow or possible developing more heat above 2 grand due to making horsepower ? I have no idea. I do know I'm running 50 degrees over the thermostat cruising on flat ground.

Hi guys I have a 69 Mustang FB with a 630 flywheel HP 428 .040 over, Edelbrock heads, .700 solid, roller, Scat forged crank, aluminum flywheel, Hooker 1 3/4 coated headers, 3" Magnaflow exhaust, Edelbrock aluminum water pump, Edwlbrock Victor, Champion 4 row radiator, Focus electric fans. I have a 160 stat, The car stays at 180 idleing all day if the temp is above 80 degrees outside. As soon as the motor goes above 2000 rpm the temp rises as high as 210 going 70 mph in overdrive. Let it idle and it eventually cools off. I realize Champion is not the best radiator but it gets rid of the heat when the engine is turning slow. The Focus fans aren't the the best either but at 70 mph in overdrive turning 2200 should be enough air without fans. I put in an 180 stat figuring the water doesn't have enough time to cool off but didn't help. No thermostat the same thing. The only thing I can figure is with the big cam and lots of overlap doesn't make horsepower till 2000 rpm. I even bought one of those aluminum pieces that covers the top of the grill to force air thru the radiator. I would buy a 1100 dollar Griffen if I knew it would solve the problem. Suggestions please.

I have an Autel scan tool was about 275 dollars but scans any make and you can check live data, airbag errors just about anything you can think of. I bought because my wife BMW 328 had an airbag light on and they wanted 1600 to repair it. I bought the tool and rset in in 3 minutes well worth the money. I also diagnosed intermittent misfire in that car which turned out to be bad coil packs. I little clunky to use but worth every penny.

Only 2 belts on water pump/alternator. 1 belt to Power steering. That's what I usually see.

I used the painless harness under the hood. It had everything that I needed. I have a MSD ignition so I needed a tach adaptor. I did need to reuses the plastic housing from the firewall connector. It did have the regulator wires and alternator connection but that was 15 yrs ago.

I was trying to keep it simple but If I lean on it hard under 3000 I get a sneeze out of the carb once n a while hot or cold. Like retarded timing or a bad valve spring.Timing is loicked at 35 deg. I also see real lean numbers when I crack the secondaries this might be normal I don't know. This all cruising light to medium throttle. Its a 700 lift cam 303 duration so I expect it to be lazy downstairs. I went from 80s to 76 in the primary and it ran terrible and was way to lean so I went back to 80 primary and 88 secondaries. This motor pulls so hard its hard to crack the secondaries and not be sitting on the rev limiter in 2 seconds.

I want to learn more about carburetors. Where can I find some info on fuel mixture besides jetting. My car runs good but the air fuel guage is all over the place. I have 13.5 idling, 11.0 between 2000 and 3000 and 13-14 all the way up to 6500. I was thinking of going fuel injection but reading the Holley and Fitech forum it seems to be ht or miss.
