My car seems to run too cool. I have a 180° Robert Shaw thermostat in it but the engine will only get to 160-170°. And that's on a 90 plus degree day. The only time it will warm up is if it idles for long periods. I have a four blade fan on it with a water pump pulley about the same diameter as the dampner. Should I switch to a 3 blade fan or a smaller pulley?
