My '71 E used to overheat in slow traffic at idle, a commen problem with B20E
First check your radiator or put a bigger one is, secondly put a hot thermostate in for the summer wich allows to open earlier.
The viscose fan, originally fitted, can be removed and an electric fan added but this will only be necessary for the Sacramento boys.

Where I live (the Netherlands) the original combination just works fine, but it has to be in good shape.
