Re: Update on the ol 289

No sir, This is a brand new rebuild so it is still tight. 180 stat, 24" 2 core 1" tubes American Egale rad. I have AC but was not on at the time, and have moved the rad as close as I could get it to the AC condenser without it touching.  I have 5/8" from the fan to the rad at the top of the shroud and about 1/4" at the bottom. Also have 4 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 cutouts in the shroud corners with rubber doors for on the hwy.   This fan does move a little more air then the Derale did . I ran the AC for about 5 minutes while on the hwy but the temp didnt go up any but the car got cold inside, may not have been long enough to make extra heat.

Re: Update on the ol 289

Well just checked my MPG on this first road trip witch had nice long hills. With just regular gas I got 16.5 mpgs at 55-60. Not bad at all for a car with a C4 and no OD, no EFI
