Update - The lower radiator hose was the issue, as it was collapsing as noted by some on this thread. Replaced it with a new one, as well as the thermostat that failed in the open position, and it now cools perfectly. After a half hour of stationary run time in the sun, I can't get it to get...

Factory gauge. Not puking coolant, but the temp gauge quickly creeps up to the line just before 'H', at which point I find a way to get moving or shut it down.

No clutch, just mechanical fan bolted to the pulley.

JDMopar There's a good old school radiator guy in town. I've used him for my Datsuns and an old Ford 8n tractor. So I can definitely use it. I'm sure we can work out something for your time and effort. Are the mounting holes on the radiator roughly 21.25" on center? I'll figure out how to DM and...

As an FYI, Quirey no longer offers the W81 hood/rad seal. He referred me to Dante's, who don't offer one either.

slantsixdan I'm new to Mopar (my experience is with Datsun Roadsters and Karmann Ghias), so I'm open to recommendations for good vendors, especially one selling accurate reproduction radiators. I'd like nothing more than to get rid of that ugly aluminum rad and have a more stock looking rad. It...

cudamark Thanks for the insight. The existing fan is a 7-blade rigid steel type, not a flex fan. I'll investigate the water pump as well.

JDMopar you are correct! Not only does it get as hot as Satan's boiler room here, it's also pretty humid much of the Summer. 'Step outside and take a drink of fresh air' humid. Although the last few days have been abnormally cool for SC in August. Thanks for the recommendation over in...

Thanks for this info. I looked at the two pulleys, and they appear to be roughly the same size, about 6-5/8". Any recommendation on size, and a vendor? I looked at Classic Industries and they only have the 6-5/8 pulley. They have the 160 high flow stat, so I'll get one of those.

Good to know, thanks!

Very helpful, thanks. I'll check it out. May be easier to try my luck with fabbing a shroud.

Very nice engine bay you have there! Thanks for your input. The gauge operation tends to correctly follow conditions, using an IR thermometer. But validation with an aftermarket gauge may be a good idea. Can you recommend one? Also, where did you find your stock radiator, or is it original? Are...

Hello all. Apologies for the length of the post, but I wanted to be thorough. I'm having a cooling issue that I can't seem to chase down, was hoping for some insight from those farther along the Mopar journey than I am. Pictures are below. We have a '64 Dart with a 273 and push-button...

Thanks, Rick. I believe that's it. I'll get on the website and order some now. Thanks for your help!

Does anybody know of a source for these clips? They're for the trim piece that runs along the rocker, below the door. I've been searching online vendors and E-Bay, and I've found some that are similar but not quite correct. 1964 Dart GT Convertible.

Agreed. While helpful, the sight glass is just one piece of the puzzle when charging.

See my reply above to 67Dart273. He pointed me in the right direction with 12v being present at B1 and B2. Regarding the parking lights, I've noticed that when I pull the headlight switch to the first position (headlights off, parking lights on), all four lights are lit up. But when I pull it...

67Dart273 You were right, there is a second 12v supply. After looking more closely at the wiring diagram, the brake light switch has two wires on one of the connectors, one of which is hot and coming from the fuse block, and the other goes to the B2 terminal on the light switch. So this is why...

Can I trouble you for clarification on power to B1 and B2? My wiring diagram shows a black wire from the ammeter going to B1, which I assumed was incoming power. It shows two wires on the B2 terminal, one going to the stop light switch and the other to dome light. My assumption was that power to...

I'm getting my a&& handed to me by an electrical issue, and I suspect that there is one company making these switches overseas under multiple names/packaging, and they're all defective. 1964 Dart GT. The issue has been no rear running lights, brake lights, or dash lights. Headlights and turn...

Thanks for sharing that. Were these mounted on/at the condenser, or in the engine bay on the passenger side? It's apparent that mine isn't an OEM job that somebody hacked together, since they used soft/rolled copper for the line between the drier and the condenser. Granted, they did a beautiful...

Glad to, pics are below. As a reminder, this is a replacement for what was installed in the car either by the dealer or a previous owner. So I'm not sure if it's considered original. But Thermo King can supply just about any drier used in automotive/transport applications.

The Drier is a Fleet Source brand, part # 7152. 3/8" flare inlet/outlet, compatible with R-12, R-22, and R-134a. I'm not sure if this would be a direct drop-in for all Mopar AC systems, as I'm fairly new to Mopar and the AC in this car appears to be a dealer add-on Mopar system. Plus, one never...

No problem. I edited the post to include a Thermo King dealer locator link.

After leak testing I found the sight glass on my drier is the location of the refrigerant leak. It couldn't be repaired, so I checked with four classic car AC parts vendors with no luck. One of my refrigeration techs at work told me to check with the parts department at Thermoking, the company...

Good info, thanks.

George Jets - Very informative, thanks for sharing. As a Mopar rookie I have a couple of question about this 4b conversion. We have a '64 Dart GT Convertible with a 273 and 3-speed push-button automatic. First question, are there any special considerations/requirements for the throttle and...

Good to know, thanks.

I'll look into them, thanks.

Good to know, thanks!
