Awesome thanks Mr JLR. I also noticed some oil at the top of the water pump. Possible a/c oil or motor oil.

Thanks TrailBeast. I have a feeling they didn't add any sealant when re-installing the a/c compressor bracket. Would you use the red RTV? Can I go 1 bolt at a time while leaving the bracket on? Thanks!

I recently had a local shop install an a/c in my Dart. Since then I've been dripping some coolant. Not sure where but I see it down on the K member and on the ground, only when I drive the car for a good distance. I don't have an overflow bottle hooked up but I don't see it coming from the...

I fully agree with you Fishy68. I still don't know how I managed to get the stock fan clutch set up to fit. The old radiator was 2 core and this one is 3 so there's even less room than before. I'm going to call Geoff at Ledfoot to see if they sell a shroud that would work with my 7 blade...

Here are some pics

Got my Champion radiator a few days ago. First reaction was nice value for the money. Once I started fitting the radiator in I noticed the holes weren't lining up. Even tho I ordered the stock replacement size 22" the Champion brackets were off. Had to take a cutting wheel to the...

Hopefully your right. Either way the new 3 core Champion rad is on its way. In the meantime I'm planning on a coolant flush to see if anything comes out. Jeff at Ledfoot said it was a good idea before installing the new radiator. Maybe I can save the old one while I'm at it.. We'll see..

Crackedback, I'm using a clutch fan, its brand new. Issue happens at all speeds, not just stop lights.

Mad Dart, motor set up is stock 318 short block, #302 heads, port matched, polished and shaved .30.chamber volume around 54cc. 340 springs, dual roller timing chain. Lunati Voodoo cam duration: 262/268 lift:475/494, eddy rpm intake, eddy 600cfm carb, dougs headers. Running a clutch...

I thought the same thing so I popped the 160 Tstat out and tested it in a pot of hot water, thing works great. My water pump is brand new as is my motor. Its a fresh build with 200 miles on the motor. I made some improvements like #302 swirl port heads with a ton of head work, Lunati...

I hope alot of things with this Champion rad. Did you end up getting another one?

Went ahead and ordered a radiator from Champion today.

Problem is I have a solid 3-4 miles of stop lights before I get to the highway and thats where it warms up. Once I get on the highway I'm at about 190 and then it slowly creeps up from there. I just checked and this is the rad I have: 3574658 1972...

The radiator I'm running now is the original one that came with the car 1972. When I measured it its close to 22" wide by 21.5" top to bottom. The shroud I have is 26". Air flow makes sense. Guess I'm on the hunt for a shroud.

So I finally installed a decent mechanical water temp gauge. Drove the car in FL traffic today and I'm up there. Like 220-230 up there. I'm not running a fan shroud because I don't have one. Looking at new ones they run about $169. Wondering if I should spend the cash on a shroud and...

Triple shitter.. nice.

I'm about to install an aftermarket water temp gauge. Was wondering if anyone has pictures of where they installed the actual gauge on the dash? Any pics are welcomed :prayer:

And the winner is... REMFLEX! I now have 0 exhaust leak at either header. Have driven the car a few times and haven't had to re-tighten the header bolts once. Had I known then what I know now I wouldn't of bothered having my headers shaved down. REMFLEX are it. Period.

The Remflex gaskets came in the mail today. Already I like them better. Compared to the Percy's they are almost double the thickness. The port size is much larger which matches up the carbon footprint on the old crappy gaskets. Fingers crossed tomorrow.

Indeed! Wondering if I can double up the ultra seals + the percy's on the leaking side.

Yeah I re tightened the bolts when I got the car home. Had about a quarter turn on the middle ports which is where its coming from. Strange thing is on the passenger side - no leaks. Only on the drivers side and only on the inside ports.

Guys I hate to report this but I STILL have a leak. Ended up getting my headers back from the machine shop, straight as an arrow.. got the Percy's and installed them. After all said and done the car sat until tonight. The leak is I'd say 75% gone but still enough to twist my tittie...

For what I paid for those Dougs you'd think they'd be wave free! The flange itself is 3/8 thick which is even more surprising they warped. Took them to a local machine shop today and should have em back tomorrow. Ready to hear that Lunati cam :blob:

Took the headers off, set a straight edge on them and sure enough the middle ports have a gap in them on both sides! Off to the machine shop now..

I'll take your word for it :banghead:

Headed to the man cave tomorrow with a straight edge. While I'm there I can try putting the gaskets up to the head to see if they cover enough and will see how straight those expensive Dougs headers actually are. Just to verify, are these the Percy's I should be looking at...

I've had this set of Dougs for about a year now, first on the LA heads and more recently on the 308's (non magnum). The heads were match ported , shaved and polished. Never a problem until recently. Not sure why the flanges would arch being it they sat on a shelf for 3 months while my motor...

sorry for the upside down pic. for whatever reason my iphone pics do that on here.

I have an exhaust leak coming from the center ports of my heads on the header side. Was wondering if anyone on here has any feedback on what gaskets they like, bolt length etc.. My motor is a 318 with the swirl port heads. I'm running Dougs headers and ARP 5/16 - .075 length. I recently...

There actually was a freeze plug missing. Clearwater Cyliner head missed it and my machine shop did as well. I installed the heads not even looking for them. They now have the nice new brass ones :)
