The electric fan may not offer noticeable power gains but will it offer a noticeable mpg bump?

it was 3/8 for future reference, thank you

Hi all i am installing a vacuum gauge into my 65 slant with a carter bbs so i don't have any extra vacuum ports on the carb. i just have one for the distributor witch doesnt work because it only gets vacuum when the throttle plate is open. the carb is from a 63 so there are no provisions for...

i did a coolant flush,blew a bunch of crap out of it and put on an overflow tank. so now she's all set

Im not sure if it is, i was just wondering if 180 was oem operating temperature

Thanks for the insight, I'm going through canada cause its shorter. how much lighter is your car than mine? I'm going to join the ecomodder website as well. i put an air dam made out of a conveyor belt thats three 3in off the ground I'm doing some more mods to "try" to overcome the brick like...

ill look into the external cooler, but like i said ill be cruising at 65+ to Michigan- Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestions, ill be carrying some extra parts. What rpms do you run at 65? is the 2.25 exhaust from manifold to the bumper? and ru still running points? sorry for all the questions I'm trying to get some more opinions on this stuff-thank you

it looks like I'm grabbing a temp gauge to verify, it should run at 180?

so are the 29s spot on? whats a "locking torque converter", and can i put one in easy enough, or does the tranny have to come out? thanks!

I was playing around with the summit gear ratio calculator and found… 2.76 gear 29 in tall tire 70 mph =2238rpm Will the slant hold up all that way at those rpms? or should i try to fit a bigger tire (as in taller) with some "adjustments" i know 29 is the tallest without masaging ;)

Hey all, Going on a looooooong road trip at the end of july, and i was wondering what the safest/best most economical rpm is for the road trip 1000<miles. Its a 65 dart slant/auto very stock, i beleve 2:76 gears just bought 15 inch sbp wheels and was wondering how tall of tires i should get...

ooooooo right the altered wheelbase drag cars, in that way i don't think it'll make a noticible difference

thank you all I'm going to do a coolant flush very soon, the reason for the electric fan wasn't to band-aid the high temp problem it was just to take some load off the engine and for a few more ponies and some more mpgs. could it also be the thermostat?

Hello i have a 65 auto, it runs a bit hot on the highway i am going to start to check things out soon. but i did have a question about what electric fan to put on it after i get her running good again, have any of you used an electric fan from the salvage yard? what vehicle? did you get an...

I have heard of moving the center bolt holes back 1", I'm not sure if it will affect the ride or not and I'm also not sure of how it will reduce weight on the back wheels? what do you mean?

SWEET car man mines the same color for now, wish mine was a two door. takin it to school 1000 miles away so i can't complain, helluva lot better than a corolla:thumleft:

Forgot to add-stock suspension in the rear

Hey all I have 15x8 sbp wheels with 4.5 in backspacing coming in from summit, i was just wondering what the tallest size was that i could fit on my dart with MINIMAL clearancing. idk if rear wheel clearance is different from 2 to 4 doors? its a slant 6 and stock auto I'm building the car to...

ok ill make sure its moving free, it sounds like its the heart of my issues for the bogging and such, as well, thank you. ill let ya know how it goes

Hello i have a 65 dart with a 64 model carter carb (fresh rebuild on it) i just got the choke figured out so now it idles but when you give it gas it dies, another question whats the deal with the exhaust valve in the exhaust manifold does it affect anything if its frozen? (power, mpg, idle)...

I took a second look at the choke (I'm kind of a newb with carbs) and while trying to start it i played with the choke and it fired off and idled, thank you so much!

yea the hose had a crack lengthwise on the top

Hmmm i don't think its the choke so ill look for bent push rods, sometimes i could get it to idle but when i give it gas it cuts out. choke stays closed. i was driving it yesterday when i got it to run "strong" and then it cuts out a mile or two away from my house. Try to start it and when i get...

That sounds about right, the oldest gas in there would be from last fall the tank looks ok. how would i get into the idle circuit? its carter the 1bbl, thanks guys

Hey y'all Just got the slant running great yesterday, go to start it today and it can barley idle (have to keep pumping the gas to keep it alive) so i guess it doesn't idle at all. new fuel pump rebuilt carb new filter was running like a sewing machine yesterday. the gas looks ok smells a...

my friend told me that all the lines were good, and i believed him, upon further inspection the rubber line going from the pickup on the tank to the line going towards the front had a splice in the top replaced the hose, turned the motor until clean fuel came through and now were back in...

Hey y'all Just got my slant running off an auxiliary tank, i then tried to get gas from the actual tank in the rear and the pump isn't sucking it up theirs about 2 gallons in the tank. I would think that would be enough or no? or do i drop the tank… its a 65 dart, thank you guys

Hey y'all just wanted to say hi, i got a 65 dart that I'm building to go to school in. So pumped!
