Sorry I'm just now responding... Busy week at work. The previous owner had removed the Thermostat😕 I checked the temp with an infrared thermometer... The temp seemed to be fairly consistent along the block, the radiator seemed to have a difference of 10 degrees in certain spots. My fan has been installed properly, it definitely increases air to the block... However the air alone passing the radiator is almost intolerable to the touch (hot) I'm pulling my radiator and W.P. Tomorrow. I'm gonna also pull the water distribution tube, to be sure. Freeze plugs also.... The water pump seemed to develop the highest temp, before shutting her off, it was about 220 degrees. When everything else just peaked over 200. I'm assuming blockage, but I just got paid and don't mind fixing what's not broken haha I'm replacing the cooling system components, if nothing gives, I'll triple check my distributor. I had a similar problem with a 53 Packard years back. Thank you guys for your time and expertise
