    Post '70 water pump in Pre '70 car

    Thanks, Kieth. I was wondering about the timing marks, and how I'd be able to see them if the hose came out the passenger side... I think I am just going to have my radiator rodded, and replace the water pump with a stock one. The original stuff worked pretty well for 42 years, so I guess...

    Post '70 water pump in Pre '70 car

    I have read on this forum that putting in a 1970 or later water pump into your Pre-1970 car is considered an "upgrade." Just wondering what the benefits would be, and if any modification is necessary to do this. Looking at pictures of the two water pumps, it appears that they are pretty...

    Fluctuating temperatures while driving

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I will take the radiator to a shop again. I did it about 14 years ago, and recently had to re-solder the upper joint because it was leaking... Chances are if the rad needed soldering, then it probably should be cleaned and de-limed, too. I would like to...

Sometimes it runs at perfect temperature (from my stock gauges), but then other times it will heat up to the...

    stripped water outlet bolt

    Thanks again everyone! I ended up getting a water neck and thermostat for a 1979 Dodge Aspen, and they bolted right into the other bolt holes in the intake manifold. I would have gone heli-coil, but that bolt hole had already been drilled and tapped out once before, and I was afraid of...

    stripped water outlet bolt

    Thanks for the quick response, guys. I think I'll try the heli-coil first, and if that fails I will use the later style thermostat and water neck. Good to know that I have two options!

    stripped water outlet bolt

    I flushed the radiator and changed the thermostat because it was time to do so, and upon reinstalling the water neck, I stripped the front bolt inside the intake manifold. I have a 318 topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and this particular bolt hole has been drilled and tapped once...
