I got it set to come on around 170* or so. I really dont like it running anything over 190. Since it is not all that hot yet, I am just trying to figure out what it's major malfunction is right now. Plus, I have always been told fords (carbed) perform better when they are cooler.

The car has no power steering, no air, and only has a mild 306 to worry about cooling. The tranny is cooled first by the rad., then by the aux cooler, but my tranny usually runs pretty cool.

This is my only fan, but that big Taurus fan covers the entire radiator surface (almost) of that older style radiator.
