I also didn't change the radiator. I mounted the electric fan on the old radiator in the car, which was big enough for the engine.
Below is the video link on how I did the conversion.

I'ts a late model 504 - Early 505 square port and someone has had an allergic reaction to the twin throat auto choke solex and carbuectomied it, hence the blanking plate with the single throat carbie.
I just hadg engine overhaul on my peugeot 504 pick up by swapping to a 'GL' linear kit - Q ? will the motor still run well with all the original parts (I.e.-single dual carb & its smaller inlet manifold n exhaust system)

Fitted a new MMSA (from Der Franzose) to my 505 SR to replace the temperamental auto ckoke TMIMA. Goes OK but could be better I think. I notice the TMIMA has bigger secondary main jet and air corrector, same venturis. I've got the feeling the MMSA has been tuned for better economy as it was fitted to the low compression engine, will try the TMIMA jet setup.
Geez Graham.
Your $400 Solex PBIC overhaul!
Was yours the model with the gold venturi and jets ?
Apart from a warped base, missing or loose air bleed. incorrect float needle setting. punctured float I can't imagine much else could go wrong with the single throat 32 or 34 mm Solex.

Spent months trying to get a proper working carby. I have found the only way is to spend the money.
The first new Solex carburettor I tried on my XN1A was faulty, even though seller claimed it was OEM. I tried all kinds of repair and tuning on the carburettor and it simply refused to work properly. Excess black smoke, hard start, non start sometimes, hesitation, etc. But I later found out the carburettor was earlier purchased and returned by a previous buyer to the seller as a faulty part about a decade ago and the seller still sold it to me at OEM expensive price, as if the carburettor was never touched before.
I later bought a brand new China carburettor (Z1 34-34) at much cheaper price and it worked perfectly from the first crank. All I did days later was to fine tune it and nothing more. No black smoke, no hesitation, no stalling, etc.
Not all Chinese copied or made Solex carburettors are bad.

I am so proud of you
How far with the new Solex 32-35 MIMSA? Did it work better with the TMIMA jets?
I am still sourcing for MIMSA, but don't want to get a new one. Someone mounted a new MIMSA about 2 years ago and complained of lack of power (not powerful/quick enough to his expectation). However, someone recently purchased a used MIMSA removed from a 505 SR and mounted it on his XN1 engine in 504 and he is excited of the power or acceleration. It seems the used reconditioned ones are more predictable than some of the new ones no one can guarantee of their qualities until mounted and tested, unless someone finds an old stock genuine new Solex Carburettor. Still, I am more comfortable with good used ones from Peugeot.

Turned out the jets were the same as the Australian TMIMAs! I will be fitting an early 504 carby to a 4 port manifold soon. Will be going in a few days.
Ok.
If i may ask, what air filter assembly did you mount on the MIMSA on the 4-port manifold, assuming that was the manifold you mounted the MIMSA? The image I attached is standard air cleaner for the 34-34 on 4-port. It doesn't look like the filter can easily be mounted on the MIMSA on this set up.

I used a Kand N filter with aftermarket hoses.
Ok.
I have Spectre come filter I bought and used in the 505 V6 but I removed it recently and remounted the stock filter. Was already thinking of using it for the MIMSA when I get one and figure out hose that can fit in on both MIMSA and filter, except the filter might be the too big for the carburettor.
I ordered the 32-35 MIMSA 2 weeks ago and the seller deceptively sent me TMIMA which I rejected and don't even care to mount it. I chose to go back to manual choke carburettor.

Do you remember the primary and secondary main jets sizes of 32-35 TMIMA/MIMSA? There is a MIMSA I opened yesterday and found 140 jet on the primary and 122 on the secondary. It's that correct? Or someone reversed it?
