Default Is anyone using a Mark VIII Fan to cool your car?

Hello:

I live in the Dallas area, it is usually hot and humid.

I am having a tough time keeping the 400 sbc cool driving around and in traffic.

This I know:

- Water Pump is in good shape and working.
- Duel fans are working and the air coming off them in hot (They appear to be pulling hot air through the radiator)
- I have a big Aluminum Radiator on it
- I have a a/c condenser in front, but the engine gets hot, off or on. (Vintage Air)
- The thermostat does work and is a 180 degree
- There is no obstruction in front of the radiator other than the grill. (69 Camaro)
- The radiator is full and have added a "Wetter".
- I checked and replaced the Temp gauge
- Replaced fan controller
- Has High Output Duel electric fans, 11 inch. (Since the car is at a different location, can't remember which type)

What am I missing?

I have been researching on google and their have been a number of people recommending the Big Fan off a Lincoln Mark VIII. (Part-RF64)
==============================================
Here is a ebay search for the fans.

****Here is a decent link and discussion off the corvette forum.****

This is a bit frustrating, but I know there is a logical explanation for this. Can you all shed some light on this subject?

I have not been driving the car hard at all, and even cruising at 40 mph, the car will try to get hot.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
