Also with the Heli-coil use a dab of RTV to seal the bolt

The fan should be 3/4" from radiator. and have 3/4" to 1" around fan and shroud.

I agree, painting the clutch may hinder the thermo characteristic for heat dissipation.

I thought that the heater hose were 5/8" Will anyway, I use the Gates Power Gripe heat shrink bands For the heater I use #32924 15/16" to 1 1/16" range or, #32922 is 15/16" to 13/16" What is the OD of the hose you are using?

Here is a tool that makes the assembly of braided lines a lot easier. The most troublesome is getting the hose into the fitting. I have one and it is great, do not know what you can get down under, good luck AN Hose Assembly Tool - Braided Stainless Steel Lines

I use the braided hose all the time, for the most part they are leak free. I like the Aeroquip stuff, but others have done a good job.

You need about 3/4" between the radiator and fan. I think that the 2947 is the shorter one.

Yes that is I believe the 2765

A brand any good auto parts sells them, even Jeg's and Summit I have used #2765 and 2947, They are the shorter ones, or they can match your application.

The Hayden's work, I think that they made them for the factory

As stated above, I said that if it dah anti freezes, Nit just plain water.

Say if the anti freeze does freeze. In a full, closed, system the water expands and with no where t go, can cause damage. In a system that is 1/2 full, anti freeze in the system, the expansion has a path to expand, not causing damage. Plus if the fluid is correct in it's freeze rating and with...

No you are good, can leave it dry for storage

Tap water contains too many minerals that will collect in the system, distilled water is what you need to use, all the minerals are removed

Don't know about running cooler, I use Evans and it saved my motor one day. It is expensive but in my case worth it

I am running this on my 69 Dart. It should have some tension when turning. When they fail the blades will spin freely, it will overheat and now cool down.

An update, I used some JB weld. used a toothpick to pack it into the hole, and let it set overnight. Then I used a file to flatten the surface. Drilled a new starter hole 5/32" drill bit. I used the original self tapping screw Tightening until it was snug. It was tight and secure. Thanks for...

Thanks all, I will let you, most likely will use JB weld, it is an epoxy based.

The base box is fiberglass, and being 40 years old

Unfortunately there is on material in the hole for the screw to grip. I was looking at using, maybe, a releasing agent on the screw, add something to replace the fiberglass, screw in the screw to form thread, let harden , remove screw and place metal plate and screw back, being careful not to...

It is the hole in the fiberglass body.

I bought a used heater box for a 72. All went back tighter well except one screw between the heater tubes. It was stripped and will not tighten. There is a grounding wire connected to this screw. My question is what can I use to repair the hole enough to get the screw to hold the wire terminal...

That is it, THANKS

I got this thermostat housing many years ago and would like to get another for my stepsons engine. I think it was from Tom in Canada, but I can not find anything about it. It work exceptionally well no leaks and good fit. If anyone recognizes this I would be grateful. Thanks

Being fiberglass, a little heat may help when you are trying to straighten it out. Just be careful when using the heat.

Isn't that the newer cars run hotter than the older ones? My 408 runs around 180 to 190 on a hot day. Or maybe we are just splitting hairs here. I guess it is all preferences as to what you are looking for.

My mine is faulty, I think that the clearance are 3/4" from the radiator to fan, and 3/4 to 1" around the fan shroud. As for aluminum radiator there are many, Be Cool, Phoenix, Griffin, Champion. I have used Griffin and Phoenix with good luck. They all make a stock style radiator. I like a 4...

It seems a little hot to me, My only thoughts are, is the fan clearances correct, and maybe a good aluminum radiator and shroud.

To my knowledge there can be up to an inch clearance between the fan and shroud. There should be around 3/4" from fan to radiator.

Now days it is a crap shoot to get a good thermostat. I have a 408 and have went through 3 bad thermostats. All three froze close and would not work. They were Stant, Moroso, Murry. Now using a Mr. Gasket which I checked in a pan with water on the stove.
