My big block makes 525 HP, aluminum heads, intake and Stock style aluminum waterpump. I have a 22" Smiths aluminum rad, 3" tanks and 2 large 1.5" rows. My car ran warm all the time until i got rid of that waterpump, and replaced it with a Flow cooler high flow waterpump. Best money i ever spent...

Put in a high flow 180 T stat. All you got now is the the water gets to 160, the Tstat opens and it stays open and acts like a restrictor, Get rid of that 160.

I am running a high flo Flocooler waterpump with high flow T stat, no issues at all.

Those hoses do not have springs in them, and they have never collapsed. They have worked great since day one. Hope it works out and i was able to help.

That went faster than i thought. Goo 60665 & GOO 62597. Both molded hoses.

i can look for you may take a little bit to go through the bills.

For my duster, i have a 22" rad, so all i did was fine Goodyear part numbers for a 68 Plymouth Barracuda with a 383 in it. Got both top and bottom, both fit great. Ordered both hoses thru local Jobber parts store.

Well, i got the duster running today, first start of the day. 70 above in the garage. Things i changed first. Installed a flowcooler waterpump, bottle of water wetter, a new high flow 180 T stat, and routed the temp cable to the top of the intake by the valve cover. Hood off as well. Started...

I moved it to the top of the intake by the valve cover. Auto meter tech said its a gas in a tube and it could be affected by where i had it ran. Car is all back together, been -40 here for the last two weeks so have not had chance to run the car. will wait till it warms up some.

I use permatex right stuff gasket maker with no gasket. Never had a leak yet

Where did you get that stewart one from, and what is the actual part number.

I am going to go with a 180 F i have a huge rad and an 18" fan should be able to keep this motor at 185-190

Will have to call monday and see what the **** is up? Robertshaw 370 Series hi flow thermostat

They dont make them anymore, need some sort of adaptor ring? Will order the Milodon 16406 high flow stat.

Water-Pump Old water pump took out tonight. going to replace with flowkool pump.

I sent an email to Auto meter. It is an auto gauge triple set . Plus reading this article makes me think it needs to be in open air space. Bourdon tube - AMS Glossary

With a mechanical water temp gauge, does it matter where you route the cable to the front of the motor to the water pump? I ran mine in the cavity between intake and valley pan. Will that cause the cable to actually pick up heat and transfer it to the gauge and give a higher reading?

I bought a 22" Smiths radiator for my duster, has 3" tanks and two 1.5" rows. Was not cheap, but you buy cheap you get cheap. Spend the money once buy a good rad, shroud and fan. Run at least a 185 thermostat. I have a 525 HP Big block in my duster, i am running 200 on a hot day.

I simply didnt have the room, so i had to find an alternative. From factory there was just a hose that ran down the side of the rad.

I installed a black poly one in the wheel well on the drivers side of my 71 duster lots of room under there ,and the tire does not hit it.

Smiths radiator. Cambridge city In. 765-478-5325

Website seems to be gone? will see if i can find his number

Yes his Rad came with an aluminum shroud. i am using an 18" black nylon flexalite 90 degree mechanical fan and a 180 T stat.

My 71 duster was a 6 cyl car with a 22" rad. I had a custom 22" rad made by Smiths radiators to keep my big block cool. No mods required, direct bolt in. Get a good rad and a 22" will be fine.

The fan should be just going into the shroud, not half way in. This creates a tunnel vacuum effect draws more air out. With no shroud, you want the fan as close to the rad as possible.

Mine is a round aftermarket one, up under the fender on the drivers side in front of the tire. Lots of room.
