Reply to "Cooling above 90 degree ambient"

GOPR0026...First, Waterpump "REDUCTION" Pulley?? That would be a LARGER Pulley on the WP. If You have the SMALLER WP Pulley, That is a OVERDRIVE (by 11%) Pulley on the WP. If that is Your case...Leave it There! It is one of the Best Improvements You can do for the Cooling System.

You will have the Greatest Success, Bleeding Air, AT THE TOP CORNER of the RADIATOR! Leave the CAP On the TANK, Heat-Up and Pressurize the System, Loosen and remove the LITTLE SCREW at the Top, a Rush of Air will come out, like Your 'Filling a Tire', when Only Coolant Comes Out, Install the Screw Back in. Remove Cap at Tank and Top-Off Coolant. Ofcourse, Put the Cap Back-On and Take Car for a Drive, come Back Repeat if Necessary. If the system is NOT Boiling-Over into the Expansion Tank, there is No Problem, In My Opinion!

Read about My Exploits in the Desert, Last Summer, 90 MPH for Hours, 118F Degrees Ambient, I Didn't Have a Problem, I had the Sacc-Resto Overdrive Pulley on the Pump. The Highest the Veglia Gauge read was 189F.  'The Best by Test'!

Zoom-In on the Photo. This was a Stop at Idle, to take a Picture, Just on the Outskirts of Shoshone. At My right knee is the Temp Gauge with the Needle Pointing at 158F. Yes! It Is Reading Low! By Approximately 30F Degrees. That would put it at 188F. The Gauge has read Low since the Day I Purchased it and drove it Home.  I run a 180F RS Thermostat for 351C. Ambient Temp Here, 115F. We are Stopped Engine Idling. 3 Fans Going on the Rad, a Oil Cooler Fan Running at the Rear Grill.
