    Remember Your First Home Phone Number?

    When I was a little boy we were on a farm party line. My mom taught me to take my right hand , palm up, and look at my fingers. 2 shorts, a long, and a short was our ring. If that ring came up I had to quick find her and let her know that "our" phone was ringing. And yes I'm 67 years old and...

    Right Angle oil filter adapter question

    I found out my 91 360 block was actually cut a little deeper than some blocks so I used a 1/4 inch cork gasket plus a thin metal washer and a homemade gasket made of fairly thick gasket material. This gasket is used to force the oil through the hollow bolt and keeps it from going between the...

    Fan Size?

    I'm in the process of putting a shroud on my 22" Champion radiator. This is on a 70 Dart with a 360. The universal shroud I got tapers in the rear so I lost some fan diameter clearances. Was running a 18" mechanical fan but because of the taper I would have to drop to a 16" fan if I didn't...

    Right Angle oil filter adapter question

    I put a right angle oil filter adapter on my 360 and forgot to put the big thick bolt gasket between the block and the adapter. Questions: What purpose does this gasket have and can I run without it? Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

    Another "Hot" problem

    Can I squeeze a 26" radiator in without to much trouble? I can borrow a 26" and want to experiment with it before I go shopping. I figure 26" is better than 22" if it isn't to much hassle to get to fit. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks again.

    I have a 70 Dart, 318, auto, with AC. It has a 22" inch 2 row radiator , 19 inch HD clutch fan, 180" thermostat, 50/50 mix. The other day, about 85 degrees, going down the interstate at 70 mph and 2500 rpm I was running about 215 degrees. At 75 mph it went to 225-230. At 55-60 it runs about...
