GOOD ! .

Then you'll want to do it correctly .

Leave that thermostat along and measure the front of the radiator and buy the largest electric fan that will fit, power it via a relay and wire the relay live all the time .

I did this on my old 1949 Chevy 3100 with a 235 and even here in the Desert it never boiled over .

Often when I parked it I'd get 20' away from it and the heat soak would switch the electric fan on (why you need to wire it live) and folks would yell at me " ! Hey ! you left your engine running !" .

Consider putting a tattle tale lamp on the dash somewhere to indicate when the fan is actually running, use this to gauge if you need to install a lower temperature thrmostat .

You won't but it'll give you another fun little thing to do that's dynamic in nature .
