It was hitting but now it's not. I had to run a shorter belt on the fan. The original top tank did not have any over hang but the new Champion radiator from Jegs does. Also I replaced the thermostats with 180s. I drove the car around town and when I got home I left it running in the driveway while I swept the shop with a heat index of 98°. In the pic you can see the temp. That is as hot as it got. I'd say the problem is solved.
