Well that is outstanding. Sounds like it's fairly smooth throughout the throttle range. Really cool. If that fedex truck would have pulled out of your way you might have got air borne. Blow thru? What rear gears you running? Is your 3 speed a 3.09 first? Do you have a build thread?

You may be able to get away with the Jaguar clutch and a smaller diameter fan blade. Clutch and fan can be purchased separately as you probably know. I have run a thermostatic clutch fan on 20 of the 21 vehicles I owned and they are rock solid reliable from my experience.

There are massive salvage yards around the southern san diego / mexico boarder. Most the time you can call and see if they have a V8 A body. Also Pick N Pull is online with inventory.

Maybe someone with the JAG clutch and mopar fan can give him measurements from the front edge of the clutch to the mount face where it goes against the water pump pulley? FLYNLADY, just measure what your precise allowable space between your water pump pulley front and your radiator is. You...

Our car, on manifold vac to distributor will be fine under heavy load but when cruise or light throttle pull - timing goes too high and the engine becomes less smooth and a bit of ping is heard. (Stock smog era 440) Your total timing at cruise may be too high. If you can eliminate the...

If you are in a bind and need to get things running, you can get rubber freeze plugs. When I was a kid we would tap the plug edge lip with a hammer and screw driver, turn it sideways and remove with vice grips. Then go to the parts place and get a rubber expandable freeze plug that was slightly...

Copied from this thread: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=119527&highlight=intake+heat Slantsixdan explained it and added a great vintage video which shows manifold wetting and fuel falling out of suspension: "True and correct. A lot of guys think the manifold heat is...

What has been said and more: On a street driven car.. Warming manifold quickly makes car more drivable quickly. Makes fuel efficiency better during initial 15 - 30 minutes. Prevents raw fuel washing oil from cylinders so prevents accelerated engine failure. ALSO, prevents raw fuel from...

If you can, a clutch fan is the way to go. Eliminate all that wasted mechanical drag and noise. You probably need to run a slim - short clutch: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HDA-2765/ Folks use these when putting a big block in an a-body because they fit the shaft - holes and are short I...

Based on the reading material, I am changing the 160 in the Jensen / 440 to a 180. It runs about 160 so I reckon it will run 180 this summer to see how it does. Probably make the oil last longer, allow me to lean it out a little, and probably have a bit more throttle response.

Friggin very informative. Thanks!

"On which, now?" Dan, I don't know. I retract my rambling statement about haus power. .

Cool to see old advertisements about state of the art technology. .

is dynamite an option? it used to be, not sure these days.

I like the tightest stall that will allow the car to idle in gear. .

Fun! I am sure you and your son will have lots of good times learning and wrenching on the sweet Mopar.

Good point. Similarly all the savings companies and private sectors get from using illegal / imported laborers with no legitimate ssn, or cash under the table paid workers. All those bullshi$ benefits / savings reaped from employing and tolerating illegitimate employees and laborers would...

Sure does suck. We manufacture hardly anything any more. I attribute the lack of unity to a massive influx of 3rd word shi$bags with no American values nor civilized nation building desire.

If you have headers that have dual outputs, have a nice flowing Y pipe that runs the dual header pipes into a single 2.5 inch. Run that as straight as possible back thru a nice flowing turbo muffler just before the rear end, then hump over the rear end, and straight out the rear bumper. Or if...
