Redfish, This car still has me stumped. When I purchased the car the owner changed the engine because when he found the car the engine ran but overheated. So, I took the car and the original engine and had that engine re-built professionally. By the gauge the car Max's the needle to an...

Does anyone know if the Dodge Darts had a factory coolant recovery tank from the factory? my dart spews antifreeze when warming up then by the gauge runs hot when looking in the radiator it is always 1"-1.5" low. I'm thinking if I put a coolant recovery tank in or re-Install if it came with one...

Thank you this is driving me crazy. I'll see if I can install some kind of recovery system.

New information- I was so busy trying to record all the places to shoot the engine with my inferred gun I missed the following. So, let me back up a little. Before I purchased the 1965 Dart 6cyl 225 the person I bought the car from found it in a barn. He indicated he got the car running, however...

So I took the Dart out to a car show last night. On the way to the show the car ran well the needle didn't get to the extreme hot side of the gauge. Coming home with lights on the gauge stayed in the normal range, so now I'm thinking it is the gauge. I shot the usual spots when I arrived at the...

I just had my radiator cleaned and serviced for my 1965 dodge Dart. The shop is in NJ but they are honest and turned my radiator around in a day. They flushed, cleaned, and even painted it for $65.00. The shop is called Hawthorne Industrial Radiator and the number is 973-427-7514 ask for Michael...

Bob, No, the car doesn't have one but either did it when the 69 engine was in it. I will look for documentation as I haven't seen a 1965 Dart with a slant 6 225 with a shroud? Thanks for the advice...

Aaron the sensor was changed several times after the "new" engine was installed. I changed it out to see if I had the correct sensor. I had the radiator serviced today and the tech indicated that for its age it seems great. The tech also said it wasn't clogged but it was a little dirty and now...

One member on here gave me the exact napa number and I purchased that sensor.

No, I just replaced the sending unit last week to ensure an accurate working sender.

Yes, the engine was rebuilt and a new thermostat went in then. I've changed it to a 160 just to see what would happen. I'm getting the radiator back today, the shop said it was a little dirty but isn't the issue. I'm thinking it must be the gauge. The thing that stumps me is that the gauge...

On my 1965 Dart I have taken out my radiator without removing fan. Regards William

I've order two gauges so far both do not have the correct fitting, what gauge do you have?

UPDATE I took the Dart out for a good long drive. I changed the thermostat to a 160 the car is running a little cooler. After the long drive here are some of the numbers 174 at the thermostat housing, 182 at the top of the radiator and 126 at the bottom rad housing. The gauge responded by...

Yes, I have a gauge on order. The one thing that stumps me is that the 1969 engine ran fine by the gauge. The 65 engine shows it runs hot,

I took the Dart out for a road test and drove about 15 minutes. I varied my speed from 25-50 mph. When I returned home my readings are as follows 165 at the stat housing 175 at top of rad and 113 at bottom of radiator. The gauge ran in the normal to high zone but didn't peg all the way to the right.

Well I took the Dart out for a15 minute drive varying speed from 25 - 50 mph I shot the therm housing 165 degrees the upper rad housing 175 and the lower rad housing 113 I change from a 180 to a 160 stat and the gauge didn't go into the hot area of the gauge I want to check it out on the highway...

I replaced the thermostat last night. I installed a 160 degree thermostat there was a 180 thermostat in there. I started and allowed to run with rad cap off I had my finger in rad to see when the thermostat opened and felt the warmer water / antifreeze mix. The thermostat housing registered...

Thanks to all, I will let you know how I make out after changing both the thermostat and water pump ...

The engine has a 195 thermostat however the service manual indicates a 170 thermostat, I think I will start there.

Different water pump for the rebuild, I've never had it off but just purchased a 8 fin water pump thinking it would move the water faster

no shroud

This engine has never over boiled

I ordered a temp gauge to install to see what this engine is running at. My worry is that the rebuilder missed something a the flow of water is restricted in the block or head. The gauge worked flawlessly with the 69 engine. The gauge even at long idle with go to right of gauge not pegged but close.

I was thinking the same on the bottom hose I felt it yesterday and there's no spring in it, should there be one.

Aaron you did the Aspen rad with an Aspen 80 upper and a 75 Dart lower hose on a 1965 Dodge Dart?

The radiator is black not sure if it was repainted or not

with the other engine fine, gauge worked perfectly.

It is almost impossible to find a radiator for this car. I shouldn't have to go to a bigger radiator just to cool the car?
