Rich49, thanks for the feedback on the performance of the new radiator. As a follow-up question (or three), what was the outside air temperature, was the 50 mph run on the flat, or was there a grade, and does the thermostat have a one inch (25mm) diameter valve?

Just as an observation, if that is an Airtex fuel pump in the latest photo, we normally mount them below the fuel level as close to the tank as possible. The left frame rail has a convenient mounting hole just ahead of the rear wheel . . . plus the fuel line is right there.
