Thanks for the detailed info, it's not problem 1 or 2(I'll see where it's connected when I get home) bad as the car never actually boils over, at idle it gets hot but I ever go the distance (nor would my dad let me) to see if it does get to 250. While running close or at 250(too many close calls) the engine ticks and by now, after installing a new MSD, the coil gets too hot and shuts down( my dad called about the coil and was told that was highly likely the case). The ac is there but not hooked up because my dad said, if I remember, it puts more stress on the engine. Also I already have but here's another link for pics of the fan clutch.also forgot to mention the car runs rich and the timing is set to factory...15 and... I wanna say 34(we had looked it up then a few months ago)
