What this K&M graph fig 12-16 is saying is... if you have a wall
behind your
rad that is less than half the height of the rad away from the
rad you are paying a severe penalty in cooling flow.
In other words a 20 inch high rad must be ten inches in front
of the firewall. Here is a picture of the rad installation
in the Power Sport RV6. Draw your own conclusions.
Are you listening Keith and Ray?

It is what I have been saying all along.
I'll be verifying this in the next couple of days with my rad test box.

That chapter 12 K&M pdf file is coming in real handy.

BTW anybody what does the software cost that converts scans to pdf files?
Yes. You need Adobe Acrobat Distiller. Its about $400.
