nice looker there OP. got to be a challenge to keep the thing from rusting as in the tri-state area many alpines and tigers succumbed to it. keeping the hood unlatched in your pic certainly helps with air flow. nice you got the overheating solved and making sure the thing has suitable ignition advance makes a big difference. V8+small lite weight car=big fun

Thank you for your comments. She's locked away in the warm over winter and only comes out when it's sunny

It doesn't do much but will add some lubrication to the cooling system, like anti-freeze does. Do not expect much water temperature change however.

I run a worked over 351 with a 390/428 fan, and the fan is about 3/8 of an inch from the radiator. Engine never ever runs hot, even in July heat. You are not pulling enough air through the radiator, and to much air around it. And if you don't have a T stat in it, put one in.
