1) put a new temperature gauge in not the factory unit.
2)replace thermostat
3)maybe you need a bigger aluminum radiator this worked on my 79 built up stang.
4)set up your electric cooling fan so you can turn it on with a switch in the car
5)make sure the right water pump is on it it may be spinning backwards or the belt may be on wrong.

good luck hope you find the problem repost when you find it im curious.

I PUT IN THE FLUIDYNE RADIATOR 2 ROW AND THE TEMP WENT DOWN . IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO PUT A SMALL FAN TO COOL IT DOWN A LITTLE MORE THAT IS MY NEXT STEP . BUT YA THE RAD REALLY WORKS GREAT . FLUIDYNE 2 ROW IS THE WAY TO GO.

hey 95 BLOWN GT, how do you go about setting up your fan so that it comes on by a switch, my fan does not come on when it should.... something to do with a constant control relay i think... but anyway if i could just switch it on myself it would fix my problem. so mind walking me through it or is there a kit or something?

Do a search within the past few pages... there is tons of information on electric fans.
