Just look at the reflectivity in that 40 year old paint.

well, it seemed when it was cooler outside the cooling system was adequete but now its getting warmer, 90+ right now and will soon be 100 and above. Im running a 340 radiator, same as a 318AC radiator, i believe they are a 2 core. Today i returned home from a trip to town to get gas and when I pulled home i was burning 220 degrees. Im not going to drive my duster anymore till i get somthing figured out. I have heard of additives like water wetter. anyone have experience? How about a bigger…

anyone running an air-gap on a small block? I’m wondering if you have had trouble with your air cleaner fitting under your hood… getting ready to do some stuff, need to know if I should start looking for a new air cleaner too.

let me know!

thanks

My 416 in my 72 swinger is always running at 200 to 215 whether I am idling or on the interstate.
It has aluminum heads and a 26″ aluminum rad. I am using a 17″ flex fan with a shroud. The fan is 1″ away and halfway into the shroud.

The motor is 540 hp and 14 degrees timing. I am also running a/c but that doesn’t seem to affect the temp any. 195 stat. I am using this because the efi people said I should.
I have the factory 18″ 7 blade clutch fan yet, should I be using that or get a bigger…

Here`s a few of the cars in the big red barn (a select few) as well as a few A bodies outside at this weekends Carlisle show. I wish that many of the cars could`ve been photographed with their hoods down but: Oh well, enjoy! Carlisle is one big MOGASM!

When I bought my 68 Dart the previous owner removed the back window.What is the best way to reinstall it?I have never installed this type before.66-70 B bodys are different.
Thanks,Jim
