Ran about 195 tops on a mechanical gauge. If things are built right, blocks are clean of rust, timing is correct, water pumps are moving enough water and the radiator is good - these flatheads should cool just fine.
I have a four blade fan with a spacer that is an inch from the radiator. I have a six blade fan on the shelf. would have to turn a new spacer. Is 1 inch too far from the radiator. Oh and at five miles per hour it never over heats.
