    How do modern cars regulate temperature so well?

    I moved my '76 318 roadrunner other day, and forget about it, left running a good half hour. Temp still was at its usual 180 degrees. All OEM radiator, fan, shroud, stock engine, etc. Temp was 96 and heat index was bout 106. NO wind. Texas. Go figure.

    Is this a fair radiator?

    Another detail I understand that can have a bearing, are the rubber seals generally found on the underside front and rear of the hood. When I get a car with AC, first thing I do is pull it. I want to work on the engine and not have it all in my way. I drive with the windows down, screw the...

    Is this a fair radiator?

    Funny how I never had a cooling issue with these cars back in the 60's, 70's, but that was original cars, not pieced together, bored out, parts missing, corroded engines, etc!! I have yet to build an old Mopar and address all the issues (post $5) plus a few more and not have a car run at...

    Is this a fair radiator?

    I am lazy and who needs a heater in SE Texas! So I always just bypass the heater and that way it won't start leaking on me down the road somewhere!!! lol

    Is this a fair radiator?

    I vote read post #5 again Then again. A few other comments followed that also matter. Back in the day these cars cooled just fine OEM and yes there are some other things that can help today, too. No reason a good 2 core is not totally adequate IF everything else is correct! Post #5!!

    Heater box for A bodies.

    Can't say for sure but a Tx old car boneyard guy (extremely knowledgable) told me the 67 box works in the dusters. I had bought one for a 71 duster but it sold before I tried the box at all, so in other words I don't know!!

    another 360/408 over heating

    Over bored 360's have a habit of running warm. I am sure plenty will disagree with that statement.

    Running Hot?

    I admit I did not read all the remarks, but I will also say, check the size of the pulleys, that can often be a problem with mismatched parts. It can make a difference. Many time these engines have been rebuilt from missing and mis matched parts. Having the under hood seal can be a...

    another 360/408 over heating

    I realize I am old and "out of touch" with modern, but IF we could cool these cars with OEM parts decades ago then why is it people seem to think they need elecrtric fans now on these old cars??? I understand bore a motor out 60 thous, change cams, timing etc and that does make a difference...

    need 22 inch OEM style radiator

    The volare in question, is a 318 26 inch radiator. I was saying last year I was able to find oem rad for my slants, 71 duster and 79 volare. I could not find a 26 rad. for the 76 volare anywhere in oem brass/copper, not even NAPA.

    need 22 inch OEM style radiator

    Not for the 76 F body. Ones for 22 small block also has different inlet/outlet size. I will call their rep to see if I am correct. I said 22 inch but I meant 26.

    need 22 inch OEM style radiator

    '76 volare 318 the original one just sprung a leak old and rotten (like me>).. Last year I could find brass/copper oem style rad. for my slants, NOW all I seem to find is an alum/plastic rad. for this 318 in 22 inch. Spectra or whatever name, seems to be the same. Am I dreaming!!!!

    Cheapskate Cooling...

    I agree. My question is HOW did we manage to cool real Hemi's, max wedges, 440-6 and did not have aluminum rad. electric fans, etc!???? Our antifreeze was not even high tech, just green? Just wondering??? Cross flow rad. WTF???? LOL
