Well, I don't think I can declare complete victory, but maybe progress. Got the car converted to a puller fan. Also increased from 1600 cfm to...
Been delayed too long, but finally felt like another round of troubleshooting (aka taking another butt kicking). After procuring a digital temp...
And for comparison on the coupe, the B dimension is 16".
As near as I can tell, A is 22", B is 28", and C is approximately 27". There isn't really a wheel arch opening, so on b and c I measured to where...
As you probably know, the coupes were made by Fisher and the roadsters by Chevrolet, so there are a few minor differences. I have one of each out...
Thank you for confirming, I've had several people that hemis just don't run hot. So I think when I find it it will be something simple. Or...
They are now $12 at the local hardware store, so yes I will soon be playing with one!
Yes...when I had the shop put a bigger outlet connection on the flow tested before and after. It supposedly increased the flow by 20%, but no idea...
I have a Mopar performance electronic ignition, so it does have a vacuum advance, but that is one thing I haven't verified was actually working....
I don't have any recommendations for specific shops, but have some experience with machine shops. And Mopar motors. My dad and uncle both worked...
Not sure if desoto dimensions are the same, but on my 40 dodge, I used an 8 3/4 from a 66 Plymouth B body and it was literally a perfect bolt in...
I've done a few restorations on old chevys and put in new wood kits. We never primered the wood and just painted with black lacquer and haven't...
I haven't tried it on anything automotive related, but at work we periodically have to clean crud out of our boilers. We bring in a tanker full of...
Its on a thermostatic control. So pretty much runs all the time. I have not tried shutting it off.
It will get up to around 220 and seems to stay there, but never been brave enough to get more than about 15 miles from home with it like that.
Have not done that. I did have the block boiled out and magnafluxed during the rebuild. But I suppose strange things do happen.
Thank you to everyone for all the input and ideas. It sounds like my plan of attack should be to get a hold of a temp gun, then should be able...
Haha,was actually just wondering if I actually verified that.
SMS is great for some of the old patterns. Lebarron Bonney has some good stuff too.
Totally agree with everything you said, and some margin would be nice. Outside temperature does not seem to make much difference in this...
This was definitely on my list. Hot Heads has a conversion to big block Chevy water pump, but was hoping to avoid. Other people have suggested a...
Pulling the radiator is a big job, but the fan is actually pretty easy. This will be my first thing to try once I get some decent weather.
haha! I have two non mopar parts on the whole car. Radiator and air cleaner! And as a mopar guy, that thought entered my mind.
My only thought with the hood, was thinking the motor was blocking air flow. It is nestled in pretty tight to the inner fenders.
Mopar Performance electronic. I like them because they look like a points distributor!
Y Lower does, but not upper. It builds plenty of pressure so don't think the upper is an issue.
All panels are in place. Had to make one for the top, but the rest are original.
Pushing.
Thought I had a better picture of the radiator, but this gives[ATTACH] you a basic idea of the set up. You can see the radiator is quite a bit...
I do have a small trans cooler near the top of the radiator. I thought that would be less detrimental than using the cooler in the radiator. No...
