Any big block owners with A/C out there? In particular those that are installing units on non-factory AC cars. If so what system did you use and what other options are you running? I'm thinking of buying an aftermarket unit and wanted to know what others are using. Are there any clearance issues...

I recently replaced the compressor and dryer/receiver on my truck. A rep for the company that supplied the compressor said that it was not filled with oil but merely enough to wet the parts. When charging the system I installed five ounces of oil in combination with just under 2 pounds of...

How many of you guys are running A/C on your hot-rodded cruiser? I`m thinking of adding it to my 68 Barracuda. The car is driven mostly in the summer when all of the shows are in swing but here in southeastern Va. it gets very hot and humid. It`s great to go cruising but no fun at all when...

I`m trying to find out if anybody has a 68-71 340 (without air conditioning) that came with a fan clutch. I`d like to add one to my (non A/C) `68, 340 but if it`s not correct then I won`t.

Whether your car came with a bb or not ,and especially when using aftermarket radiators, there`s very little room for a fan clutch to be used.

I`m reinstalling a rear defogger in my 68 Barracuda and I don`t know which way the wiring was originally routed. Do I go straight down the left kick panel, back, and then over, or do I go across the dash, down the right kick panel ,and then back? The defogger is in the right rear side panel of...

Does anybody know the proper heater hose orientation for both big block and small block? Right now on my big block I`ve got the right side of the heater core going to the rear most connection on the engine. The small block is plumbed ,right side of heater core to water pump, left to intake. What...

Yes it`s going to be summer again before you know it, and it`s time for me to do the bi annual hunt for inexpensive R-12. Any suggestions?

I have a 67, 273 that I recently aquired and the guy who had the car said there was coolant getting in the oil. So far the heads have checked out okay and there`s no sign of a cracked block, however I have`nt had it pressure checked yet. One thing I have found is the timing cover has two...

I`ve noticed many times just as my thermostat opens the radiator will overflow coolant. This doesn`t happen every time nor does it matter whether the radiator is topped off or down to the cooling fins. I believe the thermostat is a 185*. Any ideas?

I`ve tried everything short of welding the exhaust manifold studs into the heads and I still have a coolant leak. Any suggestions?
