    Leaking water pump... But not at weep hole.

    All very good points, thank you again all. I'm aware of the 67 and earlier iron pumps and the later aluminum being different, thanks for a big heads up on what could be trouble with confusing the 2! The heater hose nipples are another good call...I'm sure most of us at 1 point have tried to not...

    Leaking water pump... But not at weep hole.

    Hi everyone... I figured I'd like a little feedback regarding my Barracuda and a leak that has sprung up. 1st, the car is a 67 Notch with a near bone stock 273. I have added a Champion aluminum rad and a small block Mopar clutch fan. It also runs a 185 t-stat. The cooling system now has run...

    Waterless Coolant

    Well unfortunately that half moon shroud is not going to help. I don't know about your big block application, but what I had done was measured my clearance, and walked a few swap meets before finding a used one for 5 bucks. As for an aluminum radiator, I opted for a champion, and it is clearly...

    Waterless Coolant

    I too had chased an overheating/runs hot issue in my A body. While the rad looked ok, I also opted for a nice mopar clutch fan, shroud, flush and even added a pusher. The fix was in the radiator itself, as the original rad had enough scale build up it just wouldn't cool at idle or constant high...

    New Champion rad - now painted and my 1st thoughts

    Y Thanks Yeah I was thinking since I don't have anything else shiny/polished/aluminum underhood, that having just the rad in there would seem somewhat out of place. In my Challenger I did leave the alum rad plain but it also has polished alum valve covers and alum heads with other bright bits...

    New Champion rad - now painted and my 1st thoughts

    Ok I figured I would just start a new thread on my Champion radiator. 1967 Barracuda with near stock 273 running gear. In an attempt to curb hot idle situations I did upgrade to a swap meet find 5 blade thermal clutch fan. Otherwise stock water pump and store bought 195 thermostat. The major...

    Would you paint aluminum radiator?

    Ok I tried a search and couldn't come up with much. So let me see some pics or hear your opinions. I'm not opening the which cools better debate, this is all about aesthetics. This is for my 67 Barracuda. All stock-ish under the hood and I'm concerned the champion radiator will now not look...

    Dual fans What size alternator?

    I went with dual fans on my Challenger and they draw a ton. I just bit the bullet and went with powermaster 100 amp and figured with add ons I'm covered down the road.

    New guy question - '67 Barracuda fan shroud?

    Yes I have a non AC 273, so that makes sense that I can't find them if they didn't come with them. I like the thought of cross reference or the bigger fan with the thermo clutch idea. Thanks everyone

    New guy question - '67 Barracuda fan shroud?

    I feel like this is a stupid question, here we go anyway... I have a '67 Barracuda and I've been wanting to increase airflow to the radiator and obviously a big part of that is a shroud. My car doesn't have one. Did '67 come with fan shrouds? I see re-pops for 68-69 but nothing for 67. Car is...
