There are many mistakes that can be made to make your Pontiac engine run hot. If you don't make the mistakes, a copper radiator will do the job. On the other hand, an aluminum radiator will help overcome some of the other mistakes/problems that are common. I'm a firm believer that an electric fan is a waste of time and money. The only wise application for an electric fan is when you want to free up a couple HP from the fan belt.
