Had a few say otherwise so I’ll leave it there since we don’t have a time machine. I went out back to check the 69 notch, I looked in my old van of parts and lo and behold there was two non bell drums. I have seen them before but thought they were Falcon drums but then saw the small bolt...

It seems the answers is all over the place (55 years a lot can happen) I’ve talked to guys who’s been around these cars all their life, one said Cuda had the bells and darts didn’t, generally, it depends on where each one was built, one said of all the 7-1/4 rears he had not one had the big drum...

I’m not above admitting I’m wrong. Too dark to look under both 69s I have, maybe tomorrow, both are 9” 7-1/4s. If only 3 years I imagine they’re hard to find.

I used pics but I don’t see them now but yes that’s what I’m asking.

My 68 had them and 7-1/4 are different size than the 8-3/4 (I tried to use them on the 8-3/4 iirr). I have a 69 notch I’ll go check it.

My friend sold his 69 Cuda this past weekend and the buyer was saying the drums I had were not right. Got me second guessing myself so I’m inquiring on here. My understanding was ALL 8-3/4 drums were made with the wing-flange, fronts didn’t have that piece. Even the 7-1/4 had them only smaller...

We had the dirt road with chloride, ate all our cars up with rust. They paved it later thankfully

Thanks, what a plumber guy said, to fix use a well-trol tank (the one with the ballon in it). The one I have was hooked up to a house and had 60 psi pressure, till house was built then on community water (10 houses on the Potomac Creek). Only use will be for washing in slop sink and maybe a...

I Im thinking of using those tanks for my water supply using rain water off my 2400 SF metal roof. I have a 120 volt submersible pump to drop in one to feed my shop. I want a 1000 gallon fiberglass holding tank square or round but can’t seem to find one used.

Need one for a v8

Good price but would be $$ to ship that far.

Anyone have a 73 spool mount K frame laying around in the VA area? Even a bent one, I can cut the mounts off the bad V8 one to install on a/6 K that I have Thanks PM here please

I’ve seen this before using a short extension and power steering to drive out the bearing assembly

It’s done that way to chill the incoming air through the intake into the heads for a denser air-fuel charge. WHY does an engine run better on a cool night?

There was no re tuning, power was down just like he said with ‘cold’ heads. I’m sure Jenny knows a lot more about engines than we do.

I have another example. Kenny at Indy built my 499, 830 hp. When I first got it in car it would peak at 240 degrees going down track. Belt driven water pump into a VW Scroroco radiator with external fan. I called Ken on this and said that’s fine, those heads have to run hot to make the...

No, so if water FLOWS to fast it won’t warm up?!

Yes, thought slowing down was obvious

So what’s your degree? You’re so wrong, go watch some more ‘goofys garage’

And what is the major function of a T stat but to regulate the flow through the engine.

So, not a person understood what was going on in that engine-radiator, talk about closed minded! By definition a radiator RADIATES HEAT, water went through it so fast it couldn’t release the HEAT (for the size of radiator) BTW I hope y’all know what those little fins hooked to the pipes are for...

Ok I’ll give my real life experience, the engine got so hot it melted the bond between the insulator and metal base of each spark plug (could wiggle them all) causing 2, (iirc) plugs to fall out of the head still with wire attached. I stopped (going down interstate 81) because I heard the...

That little essay tells me you don’t know shite so go preach somewhere else. What a clown

Ok what degree do you have? Internet posting?

BS, you have bad science, my brother has an engineering degree in thermodynamics. Do you know there is no such thing as cold? There’s only heat, it has to dissipate through a medium, it doesn’t just disappear. If you have an insulated container with one 5” rod sticking out it won’t cool too fast...

It’s a bleeder valve, to keep temp at the desired engine efficiency level, remember an engine is a heat pump.

Oh yes it does, they can crow all the want with their synopsis but I had first hand knowledge their idea holds no ‘water’ pun intended. REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE from 1968 in a 62 Chevy 283 wagon. It takes time to transfer heat, it’s not instantaneous. Does your coffee cool down fast in a thermos...

So it can slow down to let the heat radiate into the fins.

Replaced switch and pressures were whitin range. Today it did well 89-92 ambient temp. Should’ve said already replaced switch before. My bad

AC will drive you nuts sometime, I’ve been chasing my tail on my Toyota, cools great when ambient temp is under 84, get to 94 and it runs then shuts off, turn off-on and it picks right back up for about 5-10 minutes then off again, never comes back on by itself. Tired of changing parts and...
