keepin cool

I have a worked 347 w 160 thermostat and electric fa. When it's below 85 my gauge stays below 1/2 way when the temp hits 90 or at the track it'll climb to 3/4. will a high flow water pump help keep things cool?

I was in the same boat with my 347. I am now using a 3-core radiator, 17in permacool fan, electric fan in front of radiator, 2 quarts of engine kool, 160 thermostat. I just got mine under control by putting back on my stock waterpump pulley instead of the underdrive waterpump pulley. Rick91gt told me some info on where to get a high flow water pump for only 69 dollars. I am sure this will help with your heating problems.
