    car has no power , no lights

    Fuseable link, just upstream from the starter relay, going into the firewall bulkhead connector. This feeds the fuse block,ignition switch, lights and everything under the dash before it goes to the alternator. I'll bet if you check for 12 volt power at the alternator, it is dead. Good luck.

    Burying my father today.....

    The service went well today. Not as many in attendance as I expected, but I suppose at 94 years old you have probably out lived a lot people . I kept my emotions mostly in check until we left the service and arrived at the burial site . There we were greeted by 2 members of the Army Honor Guard...

    Burying my father today.....

    Thanks for all of the kind word....we're leaving now to go to the service. 2 weeks ago they had a Army Chaplain come in and have a ceremony to honor him for his service They gave him a bunch of awards. He never talked much about it, I always presumed it was because of the horrific things he...

    94 years old, WW2 Vet, fought in the Normandy Invasion. Dad lived a long and prosperous life. He was married to my step-mom for 43 years, and had 19 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. He was well loved and respected. I didn't get to know him very well, as we didn't see eye to eye on most...

    Finally installing the 8 3/4 in Bluefish

    I have a restoration manual that shows what the driveshaft length should be from the factory with different engine/trans/differential combos. I used that for my base number, then measured my old driveshaft in the car with the new ( 8 3/4 ) rear end, then calculated what needs to come off. That...

    Finally installing the 8 3/4 in Bluefish

    Not sure yet on the springs. I'm used to the back end up in the air with air shocks. Once I get the driveshaft in I can get the car outside and get a real good look at it. It measures close to level, guess I was hoping for more. Good news is I picked up the driveshaft today and it measures...

    Finally installing the 8 3/4 in Bluefish

    After collecting parts for what seems like years, the 7 1/4 is finally coming out. Spent the summer putting miles on the new 340 and working out the bugs. Decided to replace the 7 1/4 over the winter before it scattered...not really having any issues other than it wants to spin the right...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    The 7 blade fan blades I had found for thermostatic clutch assemblies were too big for my shroud. This is a 22 inch radiator, so the opening in the shroud is less than 20 inch. The 7 blade fixed fans I found so far were on E-bay, and I missed out on those. The title of this thread, Do all...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    Finally found the time to work on it a little. Haven't had any luck finding a 7 blade fan, but that is something I want to try. I re-installed the Milidon thermostat ( 180 degree ). I've previously experimented with a 6 blade steel fan ( Jegs ), and a Mopar performance thermostatic 5 blade...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    This is a brand new( as of December ) radiator that up until recently has not been used on the road. I have checked it with a shop light, and have lightly sprayed it with a garden hose...nothing appears to be clogged in regards to airflow . It has a light coat of flat black as delivered from U S...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    I see what you are getting at.... When testing the thermostat in water, I was more interested in how large of an opening the high volume t-stat had, as compared to a normal one. I understand what you are saying about misting the radiator, and driving in the rain. So I'll put the high flow back...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    Thanks for all of the input!!! Based on what I've read, and the fact that the upper radiator hose was reading 221 degrees and the lower was 210, it has to be airflow and/or flow through the radiator. So I tried an experiment tonight. I removed the Milidon high volume thermostat and tested it...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    I'm using the Milidon high flow thermostat that was recommended with the Milidon high volume water pump. I believe the thermostat was rated at 185. I agree about moving water too quickly through the radiator, but the problem was there using the stock water pump and 180 thermostat. I've...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    The only difference I can see ( and this is a stretch ) between this engine/setup from all of the other 273/318/340 engines I have had, is that the 67 Cuda radiator has the inlet and outlets on the same side. It has a different timing cover, with the degree marks on the passenger side. The water...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    Agreed...that's why Im asking for help. The engine is a stock bore 1968 340, with a stock 68 340 cam degreed in straight up ( .444 lift intake and exhaust). Carb is jetted slightly over base on primary , 56/65 jets, 8.5 power valve. Engine idles cleanly at 650 rpm in gear, 17 inches of...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    I"ve added a factory shroud. I've also tried a Mopar Performance factory style clutch fan and fan. Didn't seem to help. When i purchased the car, it had a very sick 273 2bbl. Car would overheat anytime I idled in traffic when it was hot out. No factory shroud, 4 blade fixed fan. I just tried to...

    Do all A bodies have overheating problems?

    I've owned a wide variety of muscle.cars, from Mustangs to Camaros to Challengers without any significant overheating problems..My current ride has frustrated me for years. After several different engines, and engine combinations over the years, one thing remains the same. If I idle for more...
