After putting the new motor/radiator in the 66 t bird last summer i noticed a over heating problem while the car is sitting still. At anything over 15mph its fine but idle or in traffic it gets pretty hot.

I planned on putting an electric fan on it this year and as i was looking to make sure i had space for an electric fan i noticed that the fan is actually about 5-5 1/2" from the radiator. Anyone think this could be at least "part" of the problem? How close does everyone else like to run the fan from the radiator?
