Back in the '60's, GM Engineering was aware of the heat issues of BBC Camaros that had factor air conditioning. So what they decided was they needed to "funnel" as much cool air as possible into the AC Condenser/Radiator combo and minimize "spillage" out of that area in-between the grill and the...

Not my car but almost an exact duplicate. I have a center-mounted license plate. The black center grill is the only opening into which air can freely flow at highway speeds. The slotted ends are the electric headlight doors that swing aside when the headlights are on. I have the same front...

Thanks for the props on the car. Its a never-ending project. The radiator is a Cold Case. unit, its made specifically for the '69 Camaro Big Blocks, and it has two (2) tubes inside that measure 1.250". I'm a member of Team Camaro and several members have used this radiator with their BBCs with...

Wow... a ton of suggestions and more. OK, how about I post some pix of the setup. That might help. But first a simple explanation of the PWM setup. It is not infinitely adjustable. The manufacturer offers 160°, 180°, and 195° sensors that are attached to the radiator tank next to the outlet hose...
