Benzme, The car stays at 80° pretty much all of the time now. Its a little higher if you stop at the store and stop the engine for a minuet but then goes right back to its normal operating temp. The fan was okay, good resistance when you tried to spin it by hand. Stops immediately when you shut down the motor. When I tried to flush the old radiator with water and air it did seem like it went through alright, then I reinstalled it. When the car started to get hot, I shut it down and used a laser thermometer to check different areas of the radiator. That indicated the radiator wasn't flowing (cooling) properly. Now its working well.
