Installed a 302 with a/c in this mustang. Runs at 190 while driving on the road, get in stop and go traffic and it heats up to 240 quickly. I have an electric fan that comes on at about 210 degrees with a 3 core radiator. Thermostat opens correctly. If I put a sheet of paper in front of the a/c condenser it will hold the paper up but without a tremendous amount of force. Do you think the fan is not pulling enough air through to keep it cool in traffic? Thanks

May need to install a pusher fan on condensor. Hook up relay so when A/C is on fan runs.
