Yes, adding the shroud ended my cooling issues in all driving conditions. I also installed the hood to rad support seal to keep the underhood heat from getting sucked through the rad. Also running Evans waterless coolant and the 3x10 overflow tank. Very happy with it. And going with the 2 piece...

This may be of interest. Mounting a stock shroud on a Champion 22" radiator - 73 Duster

I agree - that "shroud" takes the corners of your rad out of the equation instead of pulling air through the entire core, and what's left is blocked by the Tranny Cooler. A decent shroud and properly positioned fan will improve things significantly. FYI, here is where I put my Supercooler...

Check out CVF Racing. They have some nice stuff.

I'm running a Derale #17118 (18" six blade) with the Hayden 2947. Had to massage the inside hole on the fan a bit so it would fit over the 4 tab things sticking out.

Derale 18" #17118. With Hayden #2947.

This tank is 3"x10". Bottom of tank is 2" above the top of the frame rail. 2.5" above tank to top of rad. '73 Duster. This tank is fine for my 408/3 row Champion (22") with Evans Coolant.

I recently installed a stock shroud (P/N 2998325) on my Champion 22" 3 row radiator (CC526). To achieve the best fit possible, it took a fair bit of trimming and massaging. Thought I would share my approach for others thinking of doing the same: Step 1 was to cut the shroud into 2 pieces. This...

I'm interested too. Care to share the name of that vendor? I'd gamble the 12 bucks (27 Canadian) to see if it fit...

Right off of the Evans website: Prevents freezing down to -40ºF

Have a look at CVF Racing for those pulleys.

Barbed fittings: Good or bad? As per the attached thread, I was working through this same issue last month and turned to FABO to decide on whether to use barbed brass fittings like that. I ended up opting for the stock style nipples from Mancini, as posted above in post #20. Not sure why the...

If I had Photoshop maybe I could have put a pair of tits on it. Everyone likes tits!

I agree; I think the NPT sizing refers to the ID of a piece of black iron pipe, which of course has nothing to do with old Mopars, unless you are installing a gas furnace or something. The table is the only way to make sense of it.

Please read my posts again - at no time did I refer to the nipple as a "1/2" pipe nipple". It is a hose nipple that fits in a 1/4" NPT hole (ie has a 1/4" pipe thread) and has an OD of 1/2". Like I said. My temp sender has a 1/8" pipe thread and sits in the 1/8" NPT hole. The table in post 31...

Ive already posted the picture of that twice here; do I need to post it a third time?

I don't understand what Eddy "didn't do right". The 1/2"OD nipple has an ID just a C-Hair under 3/8" and fits just fine as pictured in the 1/4"NPT hole. No issue as far as I can tell.

Like Joesedge said, the 1/2" OD nipple fits in the 1/4"NPT hole next to the temp sender.

Simple answer to your simple question: YES 73 Duster (Born with a 6 banger) 408 Champion CC526 Hayden 2947 Just put mine together for the first time a couple of days ago, and I'm a long way from fire-up day but I have about 5/16" clearance between the clutch and the Rad core, and that's with...

Heat Box all done. On to the next job....

I pressure washed fiberglass parts, gave them a light sand and 2 coats of satin clear. Glass beaded the metal blower plate, flaps and lever pivot shafts and cleared them as well. Fixed a few little repairs with plastic epoxy. with a light sanding of the surfaces to bond, it sticks like steel...

I used my wife's blowdryer (just this side of a heat gun), and heated up the problem area a couple of times, straightening it with bar clamps against a steel plate a little more each time. The fiberglass or whatever it is did actually soften up and move. It stayed straighter each time it cooled...

Trailbeast I'm in the middle of doing the same job with my heat box that you described. After listening to the feedback I'm now thinking that the cure could end up worse than the disease with this warped fiberglass. I did only notice it once it was all on the workbench so I may just go with the...

Are you thinking that is just a quality thing? I could see that. The door closes with a bit of a gap along the top, even though I never noticed this 'problem' in the last 6 years of driving the car. But now that it's sitting on the workbench...... I wonder if anyone out there has the same...

For sure, to straighten it out now, and also prevent it from just happening again. Will discover how cooperative 42 year old fiberglass can be. Or not.

I'm now in the middle of rebuilding my heat box and I notice that the front of the passenger side fresh air box is caved in more than 1/4" - looks like the support rod was torqued up pretty tight and the strain on the bracket has made the door - side of the box quite concave. I'm wondering if...
