Running hot
I’m losing my patience with my toy. It runs hot. With a 190 stat I run 220-230 in traffic at 85-90 degrees outside. I checked the water temp against my gage and the gage is accurate. I installed a new (not OEM) replacement 22 inch radiator, 3 inch wide top tank. No help. I installed a shroud. No help. I installed a 160 stat and it slowly goes back up to 220-230 in stop and go traffic. I removed the hood sound insulation thinking it was trapping heat. No help. I have a new standard water pump…
another “Do? Or don’t I?”
OK.I have the option of picking up some Eddy heads (6077 or 60779) for my Sedan project. I have (what is supposed to be) a 60,000 mile 318 that I had originally planned on just changing the cam, valve springs, go from 1.50 to 1.60 exhaust and slap on a 4V and headers. Obviously the Eddy’s would be to much for that, but not if I stroke it.
I figure a darn good stroking will add (maybe) $1500 to the cost of the project. That, and the fact that the aluminum heads will look like aluminum heads is…
Sad days ahead – to the crusher
My local boneyard owner is “getting sick of it all” and is starting to send alot of his inventory to the crusher … SAD Image: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/images/icons/icon9.gif Quite a few Dodges, Plymouths, Chryslers, and AMCs on the chopping block. I walked around this morning for an hour and took a few photos of what I could find … I missed alot I’m sure but was in a hurry.

booster and mount questions
hello, im working on getting brakes on my project car. the car is a 74 dart with power disc brakes . it came to me without a master cyl or booster, only the mount that is attached to the pedal. the mount looks like a new one. i bought a booster to fit a 74 but the holes in the mount are slightly narrower than the studs in the booster. could someone look at the mount to see if it looks like the original or is it for some other booster. thanks
Hi Gang
Alrighty then…my name is Doug Farrell and live I live in Torrance, CA(SoCal).
Just jumped back into Mopar world after 12 years. Seems I lost a bunch a brain cells since that time so I will have a lot of questions. Oh…an A body was the only option for me. I’ve owned the following Mopars since 1976:
1971 Challenger R/T 340 727
1970 Dart Swinger 340 727(fast)
1970 Challenger T/A 4sp
1969 Roadrunner 383 4sp
1968 Dart GTS 383 4sp(this one makes me sick just thinking about it)
1970 Cuda 340…
