I thought I was the only one with this engine compartment heat problem but sounds like it’s common for these a body’s. I’m thinking maybe opening up the fender wells behind the shock mounts and running scoops over each side on the hood well help gain some extra air flow through the compartment...

I f ur talking about me, no I don`t. I can`t seem to find the right way to post pics. Not that I`ve tried that hard !

I wrapped my turbo J and exhaust pipe too. Worked great, mainly to protect the stupid spark plug wires and proximity to the master cylinder. Headers were not harmed when I took the wrap off. Also dampened the header noise under the hood.

The exhaust configuration isn't familiar to me. Do the slip connections seal nicely? Is there something required there? Of course it appeals to my taste for something a little different. LOL Once I toast my cheap Summit headers with this header wrap maybe I can get (make?) something like that.

I folded over a piece of header wrap twice (three layers) and tucked it between the plug wires and that pipe and have not had a problem with the wires burning. Using 7mm silicone wires and HEI.

Thanks. That was the route that I wound up taking. Didn't get to do much work until yesterday but it was for a good reason. The hospital released Dad Friday so I was helping him get settled in and trying to make sure their house was set up to accommodate him. Got the old headers out last night...

...Duty Black Maxx Ceramic-Metallic Coated Full-Length Headers 1966-81 Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge 273-360. Wrapped in a Design Engineering Header wrap kit with stainless Zip-Ties ~ this DEI Product helps reduce underhood temperatures as much as 50%. These headers were mounted for fitment, but...

How do you use a silicone before and after or before or after or what? Thank you

One from the parts car. I figured I can get it done in my spare time (whatever that is) and then bubble wrap it up until I get to that on the car. Used a Rustoleum Chrome spray. Need to let it cure and touch up the black back side, reinstall header panel piece and black out the lettering and it...

...with blocking the heat crossover during summer months, insulating the lines, and look into controlling underhood temps. I'm thinking header wrap, hood vents and maybe diverting the radiator air away from the carb/intake as mentioned by @AJ/FormS above. Anything I can do cheap/free ill try...

...from someone that keep it in the garage except when it's at the track........vary minimal moisture. My hooker super comp heads was used in 3 different motors and and the last three years with header wrap...........someday i will have to replace them expensive headers. Id say i got my moneys...

I used black header wrap to start with, then sprayed black wrap paint on them when finished, still turned white ! I wonder if mine not having rusting problems is because they were chrome to start with . I never had any of the cars running to dry the water soaked wrap, they all air dried. This...

...the track was **** by this time and a scratch was all i got!!!!!! And those that don't read down to here.......I will know:D yes that is Header Wrap dangling and dropping behind me. One of the things on my list that i didn't have time to fix. Didn't realise that it had unraveled that much...

My black wrap (2 diff. brands) has turned white, even after header wrap paint was put on them twice .

Covered there cheap junk Summit headers pretty much disposable and having used for several years. Besides that I never looked for any warranties for any race parts of mine. Appreciate you trying to help though....

ATF can run pretty darn hot, then placed next to the headers and the temperature the rubber can see may be much higher than you think. I went through this using AN-10 hoses from the oil filter adapter to a remote filter. Even with a protective aluminized wrap, the hoses would eventually start...

Get the off idle worked out first. First find out how much transfer slot is showing at hot idle. That will be clue number one. If its out of range, then adjust timing or whatever is needed. Obviously not going to drill holes in a borrowed carb. Holley/Demon Carb stumble Once everything is...

I just got a Jegs email today. Starter Heat Insulator... $17.99. Cheap enough. I'm thinking about one for each car. Not much room between starter and header.

My 440/505 does the same thing when I go to restart quickly after I shut it off. I have to hit the key a second time and it comes to life so far. I have the headers wrapped, (hate that stuff), and the starter wrapped also. Thinking about unwrapping the starter, and making a heat shield type...

AJ, the picture is what my fan set up looks like. It is a seven blade fan off a 80s dodge truck. Is this a good fan? I have a Hayden 2947 thermostatic fan clutch and a new cold case radiator, and a stock 180 t stat. My shroud fits very tight and contains the whole width of the fan. It goes...

the thermostat regulates to a minimum coolant temp, unless it sticks. The maximum is governed by the ability of the designed system to get rid of heat. Stopped, at idle, with the hood closed, is usually the hardest case. Your fan is trying to create a low-pressure in the shroud. Higher pressure...

...in this photo. It's a 440 in my 67 barracuda. I'm using the Dr diff offset adaptor and master. Hooker fenderwells run very close, especially # 7 pipe, which runs right underneath the master. #5 pipe runs close to the front of the master also. Heat shield and header wrap is definitely required.

I have had the same problem with my 68 505' fastback. I hate header wrap and took it off. Had the headers hi heat black coated, no fiberglass any more !! I installed some chromed plastic marine vents in each side , (ABOUT 18" X 3") beside the 6 pack scoop to let air out. The one on the pass...

Kind of the way I'm customizing this car is more of a late seventies I would probably say more disco era then flower power era of the late 60s early 70s of the make of the car. I would think just a few years after new the Interiors of these cars we're starting to wear out by the late 70s and...

So here I sit on another Sunday morning with the Dart still not started. Ya know, it's all of the "little things" that are chewing up GOBBS of time. We are down to just a few annoying items. The shifter cable is way close to the headers as is the starter solenoid wire that comes out of the...

That's great news Mike, Even though it is still costing you money it could have been WAY worse. I think the first cruise is about a month away and at least you have a shot at making it. My car STILL isnt started, it's all of the "little things" that are chewing up GOBBS of time. We are down to...

...just because I had a bunch of used wrap. Probably hurts the low end a little w/ the loose convertor and fair sized roller cam , but who cares on a 505" engine ! Also running a mech. fan, I don`t worry too much about loosing 10 h.p. with aprox. 700 on tap. Did I SAY, I HATE HEADER WRAP ?!? -LOL

Actully I do have a heating issue to. Especially in traffic and long traffic lights. So my thought is to eliminate any and all heating problems the best I can. I run a 26” 3 core radiator with shroud. Three fans as stated in earlier post. This has been on going for years I guess I have been...

Got some copper header wrap to help insulate them break lines. Until I can re route them this will be good enough.

...always add some armor to it. You know best. I’m sure you know that more exhaust under the hood is going to create mass amounts of heat. Header wrap is your friend. But will rust the **** out of your pipes, especially if you’re crossing water often - getting it wet. So, either use 304SS for...
