I installed a fan sending unit from a Milano (75) that converts the 2 speed
164 fan to a one speed (high) fan.  It seems to hel a little in traffic.
The temp still climbs but never seems to overheat.  I think the gauge may
not be the most reliable.

Seems Alfa should have spent more time testing in Arizona heat conditions.

Running cool in TN
