So I'll try a poll to see what You'd do in this case;
The Issue I really have is overheating,, it runs at 210 to 230 regularly and will boil over when I stop.
The Previous owner added a 16" electric fan.. but he also added a 25amp breaker in-line to the fuse box.. ( I don't know what it should be).
I've cleaned out the radiator,, water pump is good, theres just not enough air flow in my opinion.

He has the yellow wire added to the heater fuse but also runs it off a toggle switch on the dash

A. Would you try to find out what air flow that fan will move and try to wire it to carry the amps so it will cool things down?

B. Remove the whole thing and install a Fan with a clutch and shroud?
