    Running no thermostat?

    I know , I know. I've heard that too. It may have been true way back when,with low pressure radiator caps stock down flow radiators, and the waterpump pushing coolant past the cap, so you'd restrict it to slow it down. But thats not the case any more. With big cross flow radiators, higher...

    Holley guru needed , leaking diaphram

    I have a holley 830? or 850? DP (i forget), its basically new. I've noticed that my intake had some fuel stains under the primary bowl, so I reached up with my finger and the accelerator pump was wet, same with the secondaries but not as bad. I went to the local parts store and purchased 2 new...

    who's running a aluminum rad & electric fan

    Im in the process of installing a flex-a-lite Black magic extreme, also claims to flow 3300. I got it because the built in shroud fits my radiator perfectly. My radiator is a Be Cool, but instead of ordering for a 67-68 Mustang, I measured and figured what was the largest size crossflow I could...

    getting a new radiator. Which would you get?

    This may sound wierd, but if you cant move the radiator forward, how about moving the engine back. I've seen an advertisment for some new billet aluminum motor mounts that offer adjustment left to right and front to back, I think in Mustang and fords magazine.

    getting a new radiator. Which would you get?

    Jerry , that seems like the cheapest and easiest option, adding a pusher to your set up . It just might work. I'd go with the radiator that doesnt have trans. cooling option. I'd run a seperate trans cooler and mount it somewhere else besides attached to the front of the radiator. do you...
