in 84 is it electric or still clutch? if its electric, its possible the fan switch, or the fan motor, if u want, unplug the fan from its relay and run two wires from the plug directly to the battery, if that kicks the fan on, its probably the fan switch i believe located in the cylinder head ?

Mine runs warm in the summer months. (220+ in town) I'm gonna do some mods as to when the fans come on and get my headers Jet-Hot ceramic coated. I added a Griffin Alum. radiator and 3" cowl hood already. Good luck tracking it down. What temp. thermostat are you running? Waterpump? Daniel U
