T-ABCers,
Thanks to all of the replies about fitting an MG B fan to our TC. Is this a great group, or what?
On of the problems with the overheating is the altitude here in NM. We are at 7200'. The car didn't overheat when we lived in CT at 600'.
Thanks again,
Marion Moll

It could also be the radiator core.The original cores were a three pass core, with a front and rear row of tubes in line, and the middle row of tubes staggered between the front and rear rows.The tubes were spaced about 1/2 inch apart, in each of the three rows.
Since the 1940's, some more knowledge had been gained in thermo-dynamics.They put a "V" dimple in the fins, to spread the air flow through the radiator core,so that the center and rear rows of tubes receive more air flowing along them thanwithout the "V" dimple.
In the radiator industry, the core type used in the T-series is that for a stationary engine. Maximum cooling capability.
