    210° @ Cruise and 180° @ Stop? What's Going On?

    I believe the solution has been found! Drum roll please.... Lower radiator hose spring I tried making the seal with the lip of the hood and the radiator support but she still got hot. Tried blocking the hood scoop - same results. I put the lower radiator spring in from CJPonyParts...

    210° @ Cruise and 180° @ Stop? What's Going On?

    Interesting point. You're right - it is stock style fiberglass flat hood with a dual snorkel hood scoop. The center is cut out to the shape of the base of the scoop so as to let as much fresh air in as possible. (Spectre ExtraFlow air filter where the cover is also a filter) It's not sealed to...

    Thanks for the visual MobileCustoms. Cheap and simple - I like it! I just purchased the lower radiator hose spring from that Ford Mustang website. ...I feel dirty

    Spot on 68GTXMan. I can definitely feel the heat coming up through the floor. (And I used FatMat pretty generously all over the interior) I'm using a custom built Dynamic Converter - stall is around 3200-3400 RPM. I have the auxiliary cooler mounted in front between the grille and radiator...

    210° @ Cruise and 180° @ Stop? What's Going On?

    Thank you all for the responses. Lots of great suggestions here! I will be purchasing the hood to radiator seal this week. Other items I'll be checking are the spark plugs, timing, fuel mixture and possible collapsing of the lower radiator hose (currently no spring). If no fix after running...

    210° @ Cruise and 180° @ Stop? What's Going On?

    I found this image of a hood to radiator seal. (Courtesy of FABO) Does everybody run this? I see it's available from a couple vendors but... it's not the most aesthetically pleasing piece. I don't recall seeing this on the last few Dusters I checked out at the local shows.

    Running a 180 thermostat and it works like it should.

    Thanks mguner. I understand the logic behind the flaps I'm just having a hard time visualizing what these modifications would look like. I just finished a 5 year rotisserie restoration and don't really want to do too much carving.

    No seal on the bottom of the hood. I have an AAR/Stinger fiberglass hood that uses low tension springs and rubber bumpers. Latched with Eddie Motorsports hood pins. Do you have a picture of what the seal or flaps should look like? Never thought this would be the issue.

    Scampin - I'll typically be doing 55mph @ 3000 RPM. Never goes above 210 but would really prefer to be in the 185-195 range.

    210° @ Cruise and 180° @ Stop? What's Going On?

    Hello A Body Nation I'm perplexed... I have a freshly built motor and transmission that is running hotter at cruise than it does in stop & go traffic. What could this mean? Quick details: -Newly built 410 stroker (less than 300 miles) -Newly rebuilt A727 (TransGo-2 Shift Kit) -New PRC...

    1970 Duster A/C to Non-A/C Conversion

    I tried fitting both boxes this afternoon and it looks like the non-A/C has 4 studs around the blower motor and uses a retaining ring that is bolted to the inside of the engine bay. (I do have the retaining ring) The original A/C unit has 3 studs and mounts from the inside of the car to the...

    1970 Duster A/C to Non-A/C Conversion

    I sure hope not. The entire car has just been repainted and I'm not hacking up the firewall. If that's the case, I'd be open to pointers on how to make it work even if it's not "factory appearing." Thanks!

    1970 Duster A/C to Non-A/C Conversion

    Hello A-Body Nation I have a '70 Duster that came with factory single air & heat. (Fender Tag Code H51) I have another box from a '70 Duster which is non-A/C (I only have the box). I want to swap the non-A/C box in place of the factory A/C unit. I have already purchased the DMT rebuild...
