So I have a ’90 W150 that I am trying to put a clutch fan on. Currently it has a flex fan that was not cooling it well at all in traffic but was cooling it fine at high way speeds. Being in Pittsburgh I need this thing to also stay cool in traffic.

I got the Hayden 2797 severe duty clutch and I mocked up the spacing below:

So currently the fan blades are about 3.25″ from the back side of the radiator. Is this to far? It does have the factory shroud…

Fan/Condenser/Trans Cooler Spacing

Hello,

I guess this could be in the Big Block Tech, or Steering, but I figured this was the best place for a big block issue… So here it is:

I have found that power steering can go into a big block A body. So I went ahead and started to get pa…

Hello Folks,

So this isnt an A-body, but a 1990 Dodge W150. It has the trusty LA 360 and I noticed a coolant puddle forming on the floor around the front of the engine. My dad purchased this back in 92′ with 55,000 miles on it. in 1998 it received a Chrysler Re-manufactured engine and a new transmission at 101110 miles. it currently has about 208,000 miles.

I kind of commandeered the truck (since it is my fathers “back up” truck now) after I purchased a house. So I bring it out…

Coolant Leak Issue, Need Help

Hello,

So when I get bored at work I peruse eBay Motors and craigslist to see what vehicles are out there. I came across a 76 Charger that was fairly optioned out, in nice condition that had a 400 2 barrel on it. It checked all the boxes of a vaca…

As the title suggests, I am at my wits end…

So some background on the car: I “finished” (they are never really finished) the restoration on this vehicle back in 2008. Its a 68 Dodge Dart Convertible with a 225 slant six and the 904 TF. At which point the engine was rebuilt back to stock specs- cam, pistons, boring, timing chain, bearings, carb rebuilt etc. The distributor gear was replaced 2-4 years ago. Fast forward to this spring: I did a tune up with new points, condenser, plugs,…

Beyond Frustrated – Wont start/stay running

Hello Folks,

Currently I am in the process of restoring a 67 Dart with a four speed. Last year I found the console tac – which I am pretty stoked about. As the name implies, this tac is mounted on the console outside of the drivers normal field of driving view. Now what I was thinking of doing would be to add an LED into the tac face that could either light up or flash when the engine hits it’s red line.

Now I know there are three wires going into the back of the tac. One is for the…

Integrated Shift Light Help/Idea

Hello All,

So some background:
I am 25 and have been looking for a project car for almost a year now. Only expanded my search to this site for the past 6 months. I wanted to get a car that I could fix up and be a summer daily driver up here (or …
