1969 Dodge Dart Pro-Street 440
Got two new 2,000 cfm fans, pushers! To replace the pullers I have which are currently running in reverse.
Becool said yes I can drive the pullers that way but the pitch of the blades are not correct so the cfm will be ****. So we got the new pushers.
My next step, if the car still overheats while sitting still, is to put a water restrictor in the water pump housing. I’m not running a thermostat, A.) because I have no heater core so no heat for the car, B.) because if you don’t have one the car will run colder.
Bbbuutt the restrictor will will increase water velocity by decreasing volume, this gettinng the hot water out of the engine faster.
Well won’t it get through the rad faster too?
Yesss, but ever time I felt the rad when it’s over heating the top 1/4 is super hot and the rest is cold so I have room still.
Doesn’t that mean your rad is clogged?
No I don’t think so, I looked in the tanks and did not see any clogs and pulled the lower hose while running, she pushes with out a prob.
