Cooling Dilemna

4nford"Live wrong and Perspire"

One of our members has a cooling issue that has us stumped. Car used to run on the hot side but genreally didn't overheat. He added a new Fluidyne radiator with a lay down kit and a pair of high CFM fans. It idles endlessly at 190 degrees stationary in the garage but once taken on the road, the temperature climbs continuously. We have checked the following:

It has the correct thermostat

Functioning Flow Kooler water pump/water flow looks good

timing/distributor pin is OK

Fans are functioning properly

temperature gauge is accurate (checked with a mechanical gauge as well as infared themometer)

Bled as much air out of the system as we could

Any thing that we may have missed? Thanks in advance.
