What type of remote cooler are you using.  If it is mounted behind the fan it
will make your overheat problem even worse.  Tube and fin coolers remove
little heat.  A remote mounted stacked plate design with a thermosta is the
only way to go.  Anything else is just a headache.  71 factiry doghouse is
best set-up.  See Gene berg catalouges.
