Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Well I didn't really think about it, but they meant that the fan itself is 14" the housing is about 3" larger... so both of them do not fit. I snugged the 14" up on the radiator, and it does a fine job of pulling air through the radiator, but it is still heating up undesirably. The temp is still reaching 190 with a 160 thermostat in it and climbing. I do not have the desire to see if it will heat up further if you know what I mean.

Since i have gone through literally every cooling/heating component on this car I am down to the thought that there is something in the water jacket that I can just not get to. I stuck a wire down the block when the head was off probing for anything, and it was really clean. The only thing I found was a chunk of metal that I pulled out. It looked like a choke rod or something, and had a lot of rust attached to it. I can only assume the previous owner or someone was digging with it to fix a similar issue and dropped it in there. I don't know.

So I am thinking maybe the only other option is to find a shop that still does reverse flushing? Maybe they can blow the whatever out of the block? I am just not seeing another option at all. I think it has been present the whole time I've owned the car, moved out of the way for about a year, and has now been moved back in the way, and heating up.
