Car lags on hot days

[Bri guy]

After about an hour worth of driving in the city/highway, the car temp never got above 160....now I can drive without turning the heat on to keep the car temp down.

I still say open. We knew it was dual plane, it allows side to side sharing. Do you still have the 600 cfm carb?

Before order a 1/2" open phenolic spacer. Will I need to adjust the tv cable due to the higher carb position? I would assume no....but figured I would ask

You shouldn't have to but it only takes a second with a stock style cable.

Just ordered this. In Questions/answers it says it will fit square bore edelbrock too

Got my .5" spacer....went to put it on and seen this...its all 1 piece and for the tv cable to mount on....so....? 🤔

Maybe I'm better off just replacing gaskets and putting it back together..unless really worth changing out

That looks the same as the one on my 70S, it moves a lot of air.

You have belt squealing after putting that fan on? Squeals when i put the pedal down...thinking the fan is heavier and harder to move.. Belts are less than a year old and are tight

Only after these Napa/Gates belts stretch and need retighened, usually have do it 3 or 4 times . Make sure your accessories have the belts straight and they are truly tight enough.

Just to piggy back on this because I had the same solid fan suggestion because I’m running 220 degrees and I need a phenolic spacer and am running a 7111 dual plane intake is everyone saying performance wise rather than isolating the dual planes via a 4 hole spacer or a spacer with a divider in the center its better for a dual plane to run an open spacer on the intake?

Thanks for the help

So I bought new belts, cleaned pulleys and they look straight. Belts still squeal for a second on start up and when I accelerate fast. Been debating on getting a new fan or even going electric. I think this one is heavier and the belts are having an issue gripping at all times. I heard there's an electric fan setup from an intrepid that's a direct swap? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
