It would be really interesting to see how hot your present system is getting. If you don't have an infared thermometer, a candy thermometer may have enough range, just stick it in the reservoir with engine off of course.

Thanks for the info guys, as far as how hot the steering box gets...its really hot.
It doesnt idle alot but the header coming off #1 runs the length of the box and 1/8" away from it. Then also #3 & #5 come off the heads and are somewhat close too. Being forced induction (10-12 lbs) those headers get really hot.
After 20 minutes of driving (FL heat too) the box cannot be touched. Now that I have the heat shield on you can touch it for a few seconds but it is still pretty hot.
I am suprised this hasent been covered before with a 69. The Hooker supercomp longtubes are really too close.
I will try and get some temp readings, I dont have a thermal guage but I know someone that does.
Thanks again.
