Factory AC (A-6 compressor). The car has set up a lot the last few years, understand that is hard on the clutch. I think one of my 7 blades is slightly out of kilter, will replace it and the clutch.
Thanks, Denny

Aftermarket a/c or factory a/c? First thing I would do is make sure the fan clutch is functioning properly. It might be getting weak.Your problem sounds like insufficient airflow.Clint Hooper

Running factory air. Think I need to get more water through it. ..Denny

Sounds like you have a good set-up there,Denny. How hot is it getting now? I'm running basically the same stuff except for a Vintage Air Frontrunner serpentine set-up and with a 160 degree thermostat,mine almost runs too cool. Need to install a 195 thermo before Winter.Clint Hooper

Full factory shroud, factory 7 blade, clutch replaced several years ago when the Radiator was rodded & tanked. Put in a bottle of Redline water wetter and reduced antifreeze to 30 % (vs 50).. haven't driven it in hot weather since.. Denny
