Hello all, I just finished a complete cooling system overhaul on the car and I am overheating at idle. When I go for a cruise it runs fine and normal temps are observed while moving like 170 on highway and 200 when going slow. When I'm parked and idling it climbs and climbs to 240, than I shut it down and I can hear it boiling over into the recovery tank. This is the new system:
-New 3 core 22" US Radiator
-13 psi cap
-Repo shroud from Classic Industries fan is 1/2 in and 1/2 out
-50:50 coolant
-All new hoses
-180 high flow stat
-5 blade 18" Mopar Performance viscous fan
-Hayden HD clutch
-Milodon high flow water pump
-New hood to rad seal
-New hood to cowl seal
Engine:
-1968 422 cu. in. stroker engine
-Sniper EFI
-Doug's painted headers (not coated)
-Eddy heads
-727 trans and cooler in the bottom tank of rad
Also checked and adjusted timing to 14 advance and 32 total as per my MSD set up as well double checked my idle speed Sniper settings.
Would a 7 blade fan be worth a try? Or maybe electric fan like the Taurus fan set up that I've read about on here?
I'm overheating myself! Just done so much work and disappointed with the outcome, looking for some advice. I thank you all in advance for any ideas or expertise you can add
