This weekend I decided to replace the radiator in my Dart. The car had the original radiator in it even after I finished my build. I ordered a replacement from Year One. Have had problems with the car gradually warming to the point of running hot. Got to where I pretty much could not take it out...

I am troubleshooting a persistent (and weird) cooling issue with my Dart and I am looking for some advice. I recently replaced all of the cooling components (water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, and sender) with the exception of the radiator. Back in the winter, I replaced the wiring harnesses...

I finally decided to replace my leaky water pump on my Dart. I went ahead and ordered new hoses, themostat, and fan clutch to replace at the same time. I assume that installing the water pump with the supplied gasket should not be an issue. However, I do have one question. Should I use any kind...

I have gotten tired of my water pump dripping all over everything, so I have finally decided to replace it. I have everything apart and ordered some new hoses and clamps and thermostat. While I was able to get the smaller heater hose fitting out of the top of the water pump, I cannot get the...

I am getting really frustrated, so I figured I would search out the A body wizards to help me solve this problem. I cannot get my thermostat housing to stop leaking. It is weeping quite a bit around the seam where it joins the intake. I have tried two different types of gaskets, two gaskets...

I need some advice on the best way to repair my heater box. While opening the little fresh air door that mounts on the box, the rivets (or whatever they are) broke through the side of the box ripping the fresh air door off. I should have made sure that the old door hinge was freed up better...

Since I eliminated the AC on my car, I am thinking I would like to clean up under the hood by eliminating the extra vacuum valve that connects to the AC/heater box and the extra lengths of heater hose. I am actually going to keep the AC/heater box in the car since it will obviously mount under...

Another member of FABO sent me a heater box retainer rod (J-hook) for my 69 Dart. You can see the J-hook at the bottom of this picture. I am not sure exactly how this attaches to the car to hold the passenger side fresh air box and heater box up to the cowl. It does not have a threaded end to...

My 69 Dart was an AC/Heat car. As part of my restomod project I decided to strip the AC components off of the car. I am keeping the AC/heater box (which I refinished) because it mounts to the firewall properly, and the control and bezel on the dash are still correct. However, since all of the...

I am in the process of repairing my heater box as I restore the unit. The bottom of the portion of the box below the cowl seal and fresh air door was broken out where the retainer rod/J-hook attaches to the box causing the box to sag and not seal at the cowl. I was wondering if anyone could...

So I removed all of the factory AC system from my car and I don't plan to put it back on once my restoration project is done. However, I am going to keep the heater box and refurbish it and just seal off the AC vent on the inside of the car. My question is, can I bypass the valve that the...

When I turn on the heat or AC (allowing the fan or blower to turn) I get a strange sound. I tried to get a short video of the sound. Tell me what you think this sound might be. It is hard to pinpoint where exactly it is coming from. http://youtu.be/_Xw0n6H90mw

We finally got my car running and driveable but we have some kinks to work out. The water temperature gauge in the dash does not seem to be working. The car is not having any overheating problems but I don't want to drive it too much without that gauge working. Any ideas what might cause the...
