cooling system mods
 
Newbie here! Would like the groups advice and experience on the following: Have a "69 Firebird 350,4V, convertible. Recently added Vintage air and can see the potential for overheating. What has acheived the best results for increasing the cooling efficiency? Higher efficiency "stock" radiator? larger capacity Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, or Olds radiator? Newer all aluminum radiator? Single or double electric fans? Or a combination of approaches? Car will be driven primarily in warm weather to cruise inns and shows etc. so quick warm-up in winter not an issue, but I hate to sit in traffic and watch the temp gauge or creep along in a parade watching it. Also, and I should probably make this a separate thread, what are suspension mods or upgrades that yield the best results?

Thanks in advance,

Larry

Larry, I would make sure your radiator is cleaned out good, You can go to a 4-coil one, The electric fans would help also.;)
