My 68/302 original waterpump leaked and I had to get a new one. I decided to throw in a CompCam Thumpr along with that work and to be safe with the maybe higher temperature I went with the folloging Flowkooler highflow aluminium waterpump:

Unfortunately since then my engine is running hot - at every speed. No matter if I go 30mls in the city, 50mls on country roads or 80mls on the autobahn.
I tried several thermostats (165/180/190°). It got better with the 160°F but the engine stays way to cold on short rides and cold days now.
Did anyone have any similar problem. Could there be a problem with that pump ?
