I guess I'll update here. Installed the radiator, and actually ended up using the crappy chrome Summit fan that was on the car when I bought it. Haven't overheated once since install. It actually keeps the temp almost too low. Probably gonna change out the thermostat soon so I have a working...

Found it! Link My bad, it's a volvo. Dunno why I thought it was a studebaker.

oliver, is that the motor they put in a Studebaker? (I'll try to find the video)

Thanks for the info! I just might have to revisit this idea...

Okay, that's weird. I have given serious thought to doing exactly that! There's an army surplus store down the road from me that has cables that adjust via a knob that you turn that I think would fit the bill nicely. I just wasn't sure if it's a good idea to actively adjust the pressure. If...

What gasket are you using?

Maybe you should wire that lever back. :) Super easy. Takes like, 2 minutes under the car.

So... I got it running. You ready for this 67?... I, uh. Well... I cleaned the terminals and clamps. Now, I did check them and they honestly looked fine to me. No white build up or anything. But they weren't nice and shiny. So I though to myself, "Self, ya know 67dart273 really put a lot of...

Yeah. They're clean and tight.

So, I got it started by jumping. That definitely points to the battery, doesn't it?

Thanks 67Dart. I'll go down your checklist after I have the battery tested and report back!

Thanks for the tip Jos! I'm terrible when it comes to batteries. I thought >12v was good-ish? I've heard about shorted cells but didn't know how to test for them. I think I'll just take the battery in and have them test it. It is a 2+ year old walmart battery so I wouldn't be surprised if it's...

'72 Dart Custom Sedan. Alright, this one is baffling me and I'm not sure where to start looking. Last Monday, I parked my car after coming home from school. I've had no issues that lead up to this. Tuesday morning, I go out to my car and it wouldn't start. The dome light was on, and...

This is how I ran mine as well. A few hundred miles in and no issue at all.

Thanks for the clarifications younggun! :-)

It just boils down to preference. Do you want to pull the shifter toward you to shift up, or do you want to push it away? Would you rather have neutral next to 3rd, or 1st? The reverse schpiel is a non-issue for aftermarket shifters. You're not going to dump it in reverse on accident. I did...

retroboy: Like badsport said, you can toss the linkages and just wire the kd lever all the way back. I just used some bailing wire. And if you go with an aftermarket shifter, you can do away with the shift linkages too! (I installed a Hurst promatic 2 ratchet shifter) if you do decide to...

Poked around online a bit and it seems that it is a resistor. So I'm thinking I tie this in series with the coil side of the relay so once it heats up enough (and I'm guessing the resistance drops), the relay will flip and turn the fan on. What do y'all think? Also, this fan has two speeds but...

Went out to my local pick-n-pull and grabbed an electric fan. The one I got came out of a '96 Mercury Mystique. I noticed that it has what appears to be a thermostatic coil built into the shroud on the lower driverside corner. Has anybody tried wiring one of these up to control the fan? I'm...

Awesome. Thanks guys!

Thanks awesome Bruce! Big thanks for the pictures. :)

The 904 is easy to rebuild. I did mine with zero transmission experience and it went just fine. They're very simple bits of machine.

This has been bugging me ever since I did a manual valve body conversion and installed a Hurst ProMatic shifter. I tried driving out the roll pin at the lever pivot, but was worried about breaking something else by hammering too hard. Anybody know how to remove it? ('72 dart custom sedan)

Thanks for easing my mind a bit Bruce! I'm planning on going fan shopping at pick'n'pull once the radiator gets here and modify it to fit. Don't suppose you've got any pictures of your setup? :)

Damn. Finally get a response literally 1 minute after I placed my order. haha Well I guess I'll be the guinea pig for this one. :-P Thanks for the input anyway mopowers. I figure the AL 2-row will be quite a bit better than stock and my stock radiator did an okay job even though it was pretty...

So I busted a hole in the factory radiator the other day. I've needed to replace it for a while but now it's absolutely unavoidable. :P I'm looking at Champion Radiators and the site says their 22" 2-row radiator (EC2374) is good up to 375 hp. I would be surprised if I'm much over 200 (but...

I actually took the first one back because I didn't think it was right. Made them bring out all the other ones listed for my car as well as a few from different years. Only differences were the outlet orientation. I think I was just really hoping it wasn't the eccentric. haha It didn't help...

I did read something to that effect. This is the pump that the parts guy gave me.

Okay, cool. That's not so bad. Thanks Rusty! :) If you're ever in Cali, I think I owe you a beer or two... or seven.
