Thanks Stuart, Barry and Bill,
Stuart, your brain was hurting for the same reason mine was...hence the request for help.
I think that the fact that Barry's car runs ok/temp, plus Bills and Stuarts experience with the modern core would indicate thats the way to go.
I will rebuild the thing with standard chummy core and see. Then play with restrictors etc. If no workee then I will put the Datsun 1200 core in. I promise to let you know..although it wont happen overnight.
I can tell you though that from my experience with blown MG TC and VA engined TA Racer that the engine will always run cooler under race conditions with the bonnet sides ON ! Obviously encourages the maximum air thru the core which is what does the cooling (does tend to cook your feet though). Bonnet sides OFF will give a overheating engine but cooler feet !??? Some more brain pain for you Stuart.
Once again, thanks for your help.
regards Harry
