They are computer limited to exactly 86 mph.

Not really looking for a mechanical fan option. My 4 blade does the job just fine.

Not having any cooling issues. I would just like to replace the ancient, solid, 4 blade with something more efficient. 73 Dart, PS, without air.

If the engine you have now stalls out after 10 minutes, your replacement engine will likely stall out after 10 minutes. Stalling is usually fuel delivery, ignition or something other than the actual engine.

Nice.

If your 73 still has the timing manipulating crap still on it, it needs to go. Keep the charcoal canister and assorted hoses and run one vacuum line from the carb to the distributor. This would also be a good time to do the quick and easy fuel line mod.

I used that as a guide for the tune on my wife's 73 slant. Worked great.

Could be the gauge or maybe you just have an engine that makes good oil pressure.

Yup, I posted that link for the mustang spring about a year ago. It's what I have in my lower hose. Fits perfectly and does it's job. $7 well spent.

A hose with a spring in it looks exactly like a hose without a spring in it.

They call it a cooling system for a reason. Once you start removing parts of that system, the problems start showing up. We have been through this hundreds of times on here. My car, running a complete factory cooling system, with an AC condenser in front of the radiator, could idle all day...

Have you done the slant 6 fuel line mod?

I got rid of all that crap on the wife's 73 dart. I have one hose running directly to the vacuum advance on the distributor.

If you spray it with a light coat of etch primer, your color will cover quicker and be more even.

You will just poke your eye out, kid.

Don't know how that runs but it sure looks awesome.

The only cooling problem you have is the one you are making up in your head.

When I tried to install a Mopar Performance 5 blade clutch fan on the wife's 73, slant 6, non-AC, standard cooling, it wouldn't fit. I can't remember what the problem was, may have been hitting the upper hose or to close/hitting the radiator.

2 good points. When I got my Barracuda back on the road, both my brand new cap and brand new thermostat were bad right out of the box.

That's quick for it to be heating up. If you start it and let it run with the radiator cap off do you see a bunch of bubbling in the coolant?

Reliability, extremely low maintenance cost, and reasonable fuel economy. I drive the 73 slant 75 miles a day. Stick the key in and go. Factory choke works great so even on a cold morning it fires right off. The 225 has more than enough power to get your butt to work at 60 mph. You know all...

About 3060 @ 60 with my 3.91s

Like the others, I get 23ish (highway) with the wife's 73 Dart. Nothing special going on. The only mods are the removal of the timing delay crap, tune up parts recommended on slantsix.org, and the fuel line mod. If you are getting 9 mpg, something should be obviously wrong.

You can't.

I have been driving the wife's 73 Dart, 4 door, 225 slant, with stock size radial tires, daily for the last month. My daily drive (round trip) is 74 miles, 95% highway, and I don't go over 60 mph. Mods: Fuel line mod, timing at 6 btdc, plugs, cap and rotor as recommended on slantsix.org My...

One man's "ugly gouge" is another man's "hone it and run it". But without pics, I can't tell which you have.

I'm not up on my slant stuff but I don't think that is the vin. I think that stamp is PT: Assembly Plant 225: Engine Size R: Regular Fuel 2482: Assembly date on the Mopar 10,000 day calendar (Day 2482 is Tuesday, May 14, 1968 ) 047: 47th assembled that day. Meaning, someone put a used...

It really does sound great.

Well, the aluminum inner structure was part of what made the option package. So your car had the wrong one installed at the factory or it was changed. That's the idea when making body repairs..... "no evidence of it being changed" is a perfect repair.
