Have a 78 LTD II with 400. This week replaced water pump, thermostat, added a new radiator and Royal Purple cooling additive.

While on highway with ac temp gauge maintains between R and M on normal. During stop and go traffic with ac temp gauge moves to a on normal.

Would a fan clutch from a Lincoln 400 fit? Think it would help any?

Outside temp today was 90 with 85% humidity.

Any suggestions appreciated

I just did the conversion earlier this year using an aftermarket fan.

See here for details:
