Yes the fan is turning on and off at 190.
Haven't tried to bleed the system but I have filled it and let it run and checked to see if it went down (it doesn't).
It appears I am getting circulation because when it is started cold the top tank remains cool until the temp gauge gets up to 180 then the top hose and tank get warm in a hurry.
I do have a trans cooler and A/C condenser in front of the radiator. They are both new from Old Air and I can't see them causing this because it doesn't overheat at idle with the fan going, only when revved up or driven And when the fan is running there is lots of air moving thru the rad. The fan is 2500cfm and I have a shroud.
Maybe I'll change the timing. Should I advance or retard to help the cooling?
Thanks for all of your replies. I know with the Stovebolt brain trust we can figure this out.
