Hmmmm. Something is wrong there, which you obviously know that. If I were you, call Alumitech Reproductions, and he will get you squared away. I sat there and talked to him for a good half hour when I was ordering my radiator. Super nice and super smart guy. He's honest, and he wouldn't sell yah something you dont need.

What I mean by overheating is that the temp rises substantially at idle and if I let it idle long enough, it would eventually bubble over (but I never let it get that hot). I do have a shroud and the radiator is 2 years old and is a 4-core.?I have the standard clutch fan(new clutch) and also a small pusher fan outside of the condenser.

I suggest Alumitech Reproductions...I just installed one into my 67 Nova, and it looks beautiful, and fit perfect. www.chevellecooling.com is the website I believe. They do make high flow water pumps. However just because it flows more, doesn't mean its better. It might cause it to flow too fast, in that the water wont have a chance to cool in the radiator, making your car even hotter. What does your cooling system consist of now? How old is your radiator? Do you have electric fans, or a clutch fan? -----Original Message----- From: tabius barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Fri, 30 May 2008 11:42 am Subject: [Chevelle-list] Is there really a "high flow water pump?" Hello all...I have a 71 SS 402 and I am still fighting the summer time over-heat monster. I plan to order an aluminum radiator soon but I remember someone telling me that the so-called "high flow" water pumps are no better than a standard water pump. My overheating seems to really occur at idle (stop light, traffic, etc.). So here is the question: Has anyone really found a high-flow water pump for my car and if so, where can i get it and how much? Also, do you think the aluminum radiator will help? ?
