You're saying here that >all< cooling parts are new? The symptoms that you describe indicate that plugged or malfunctioning parts could be the problem. Those symptoms match the plugged radiator on my 1973. New radiator and the problem disappeared. Don't skip the gauge or sending unit either. Fan shroud will definitely make a difference, but will not be THE difference, most likely. ========== Idler arm should flop about easily. Ask your parts man for a busing rebuild kit if you have not done that already.
