63 dart 360/904/5:57 stock car. it will be cruising a bit in 3rd before they drop the green flag. should I wire it all the way back or get the mechanical kickdown linkage that applies it gradually as you give it throttle? thank you for your time. RR
Nice! You had tickets?
Was dropping engine in cuda, so only listened to 1st period, but sounded like Oilers took the play to Cats. Another shortie for Brownie! Another exLeaf :BangHead: :lol: Go Oilers!

That 3/4 inch restriction is probably a bigger restriction than a good high flow thermostat.
I’ve never been a fan of restricters on race engines and don’t line them at all on street driven engines.
Agree with all the above, 4.10s, 95 %.
The 5%? If your stuff was mine, I might try 3.73s (if available in a dana).
There is no way you need 4.56, unless you were maybe running eighth mile ONLY. (And imo, still a maybe).
put in a thermostat and see what it does. and get a decent one for cripe's sake, not no vato zone special.
also more directly, i've asked twice:
running hot> on the factory gauge, aftermarket gauge, or with a IR temp gun? boiling over?

I have never EVER seen a set of plug wires with the ends soldered on.
That’s cRaZy. There is no need to solder those on if you have the correct crimping tool.
Even if you do not convert to something like a GM HEI module I made this up for emergencies and have also used it for test firing engines and for troubleshooting. It has been handy. Just a box with an GM HEI module and a coil. Green clip is ground, yellow is to battery, and then...
Sorry I have no idea what you mean by "ground wire." There is no ground wire in a factory or aftermarket Mopar ignition system. The module is grounded at the case and MUST be so
Some things......
Hook it all up, clip your meter to the coil + and ground and turn the key to "run."...
those radiators seem to be well regarded, but i don't know enough about them to make a call one way or the other.
the fan/shroud and clutch are solid choices.
what's the water pump, how close is the fan, t-stat? when was the last time the block was flushed?
running hot> on the factory...
