    26 inch fan shroud?!?

    So, I am finding 22" fan shrouds pretty easy...but I don't seem to be finding the 26" shrouds. Are they the same as on the E-body? Am I looking in the wrong places? Yes, I searched the forums, but everything I find info on is a 22". This is a Texas car with A/C and came with the uber-radiator.

    E-fan on my short list

    Well, I still don't have the Dart going. It seemed too easy to be true. I got the C-class fan installed on my car, and it cooled fine sitting still, but I had to get a bigger alternator to feed the damn thing (40 amps). Now I hear tale from the Benz tech the fan is intended to get a pulsed 12V...

    Coolant temp differential help

    Can someone with an IR temp thermometer do me a favor? I am curious to see what the temperature differential is between the upper and lower radiator hoses at idle. Please note what type of radiator you have. I'm just trying to see how much heat should be dissipated under normal operation. My...

    The perfect electric fan?

    As noted in my fan shroud thread, I have been having cooling issues with other E-fans I have tried. The video below is a test of a fan from a Mercedes CL63 (480hp, 5.0L V-12). This fan is a near perfect fit over the Mopar 26" radiator in my car, shroud and all. The fan has it's own electronic...

    All 26" shrouds the same

    Motor: 360, .030 over, 9:1 CR, 625 carter, 15 degrees of timing at idle (should be 18, but tuned it back for testing). Original Setup: New 2 core 26" radiator 7 blade clutch fan No shroud 180 stat 50/50 coolant mix AC water pump Everything was new but the fan. It ran fine on the highway, even...

    Best way to seal outboard header studs?

    My left front header "stud" was never there, and I was using a bolt instead. Since I have it out, I am installing a proper stud in the head. What should I use to seal it up so that it doesn't leak coolant? Teflon tape? Ultra Black, Gray, or Copper RTV? Non of the above?

    New Cooling/fan question

    I am still trying to figure out what is up with my cooling system: 26" 3 core factory type downflow radiator 180 degree T-stat 50/50 mix coolant Mopar high volume water pump. Factory clutch fan, but it is absent a shroud because I planned to install an electric. It obviously heats up in...

    Radiator/cooling issue (continued)

    Well, I just got my radiator back from getting recored. It's now a 3 core unit. I also just got my dual B&M plate style coolers for the car. One for the trans and one for the oil system (to be mounted after my Amsoil bypass filter system). I haven't addressed the electric fan issue yet. I...

    14" fan + 360 = overheat

    Well, I got my free Mr. Gasket 14" fan wired today. It moves a lot of air...HOT air, but it can't keep the temp under control. I had the car in the garage, in Park, and it was 105 today, so the air it was drawing in wasn't the coolest. The fan was running flat out, and the temp kept creeping...

    Radiator cap pressure

    What pressure should I run on my radiator cap? I have a 16 lb right now. I have heard of people running 23 lb. Is this a good idea or not?

    Heater core/blend door question

    Currently the heater core is not hooked up in my Dart. I just have the hose looped back to the intake. I want to hook it up, but my bypass/cutoff valve was rusted out, so I pitched it. Can I hook the core up without the valve, or will heat constantly be getting into my cabin (I.E. the blend door...
