How many blades on that fan? I noticed that you have an eddy rmp airgap. Mine started to run 210 degrees since I changed from factory to the eddy intake. Trying to get it to cool right.   :working:

I'm using a stock replacement fan from Autozone along with a HD clutch.  It never runs hot, actually it gets to 200 after a couple runs at the dragstrip. 

What temp t-stat did you use?  I think a 195 was stock, you could try lowering it to a 180.

Also maybe you need to tune the carb with the new intake, it could be lean due to the better flow and create a overheat condition.

I have the same fan that you have, autozone. Never ran hot until I put the intake on it. I have not reset timing or adjusted carb though. thanks

Did you put a new sending unit in?
