Re: 1955 ford station wagon with a V8 302 Engine.
I know your carb at one tie ran cooler with the '68 Ford radiator, but since it is wider and shorted that the original, a lot of the cooling fins are probably blocked by the radiator support frame and panels.
Also if the lower rad hose tends to slide back and the clamp gets loose, that kind of tells me the lower hose tube on the radiator may have a slight taper to it, where the diameter is slightly less at the end.
