I normally run it at the mopar nats over here at santa pod, since that year where i got the 19s I've put a new carb on and timed and tuned it and it definitely is running loads better, just still quite slow on acceleration. Will be taking it down the strip there again next month so be...

Thank you for all your advice! Sorry probably should've said in the post that the engine needs a rebuild, it needs: - gaskets - timing cover (unless I can use this off my 318 which i think I can) - lifters & rods - cam - timing chain - piston, rings & rods - valves - bearings - rocker arms And...

Hi, I currently run a 318 in my '73 Satellite that's stock apart from an AVS2 carb. I have just bought a 360 and need to get some parts for it and want it to be a bit more high performance than the 318 and have a bit more 'go'. I don't race it often but for context the quickest it's done the 1/4...

so thought before pulling the rad out the chev and trying that (brand new rad only ran a handful of times), will swap the thermostat that i bought from rockauto. bought a 180 thermostat and new housing. probably my mistake for not checking properly but have found that the 160 i bought from a...

not sure if this is a dumb question, have googled it and can’t find anything to say i can’t/shouldnt, but i have a rad in my C10 with the hoses in the same place that’s a similar size to the one in my satty. if it is the radiator that is the issue could i fit this temporarily until i can get the...

will try take that in somewhere to be checked out before swapping thermostat around :)

will take it for a proper test drive tomorrow and see if it creeps up further when i accelerate. have bought a 180 thermostat instead for it so will swap that over when it turns up if the issue is still there. the electric fans are mega effective usually, like previously when the temps have...

ran it with the rad cap off to make sure there’s no air in there and then the gauge was reading here after about 15 mins of idling with the fans on. higher than it normally would be as normally it’s bang on the C line. not 100% sure where i should be pointing the infrared thermostat and also...

have an infared thermometer turning up today so will test it and see what the temps are reading as

I replaced the belt at the same time as the water pump. Drove it to work and back the day after, about 20 miles each way, and it had no issues on the way there and on the way back the temps were creeping up slightly on the way home and had to have the fans on. Then changed the thermostat and...

will give that a go thank you!

i’m not sure which it had on before as never changed it before, will get a 190 and have a go though thank you.

the thing with mine is it runs warmer when i put my foot down, when i don’t have my foot on the throttle at all the fans help the temp creep back down again

i’ve changed the coolant a few times recently - once at the end of last year before the issues started and now again so i could change the water pump. ok thank you i didn’t realise that, will get a 180 one. i thought the issue was the pump as i took it on a journey a few weeks ago and it was...

i have AC but it’s not connected. the timing was massively out recently but sorted that just over a month ago. had to advance it quite a lot and did probably 1000-1500 miles with no issues before this problem started. thought it might be that when it first did it so checked the timing again but...
