    AC pulleys with a flex fan. Overheats with the clutch fan and seven blade.

    Overheats when? On the highway or around town? I don't think the pulleys are going to save you

    The clutch fans doesn't / never has worked. The flex fan always has. New vs old motor. All stock kind of guy and the last ad I saw had the four blade fan setup. The lowrider guys also use the four blade fan. I want a propeller.

    So you want non AC pulleys and a 4 blade fan? That's not your answer I can guarantee it

    if the car is heating up on the highway, its normally due to insufficient flow through the radiator. If its overheating around town in traffic, the fan might be to blame. So we need to figue out which senario you have. Plus, how hot is hot? What is your definition of overheating?

    If you are interested.I have a couple 6 blade flex fans,I would think they would help,but you never know.The S-! water pump is the same as the GS 455.TA makes a higher volume water pump then stock,so you most likely would be better off with that one.Bruno.

    Again, is that at highway speeds or around town, stop and go?

    Your radiator isn't cutting it

    Bought a TA pump. Thought the 4 blade would perform similar to the flex I have been using. Plus Cooler...

    Fan isn't really doing much at highway speed

    Its an old 4 core brass without a leak. Had it cored when I should have had it boiled. Overheated quite a few times to 260 plus since with city water.

    Can they test flow? I need to take it to a Pro.
