I'm curious what others are using for a fan and shroud on their Darts with a big block. I have a 413 and an aluminum 26" radiator from AutoCity Classics. I had a shroud that was on the previous factory radiator that the last owner zip tied on but the shroud broke. Fan wise, it has an aftermarket...

Seized, no. I drive the car quite often. Grooved, possibly. I had the adjuster in quite a bit but was afraid to go too far with it for fear of it falling off. Then I’d be really screwed. I was planning on reusing them. At this point I’m wondering if going with a newer rear end would be better...

No worries. I knew they were tapered. I’ve just never had one this stuck on before.

The puller I have is very similar to yours. It just uses a socket instead. I’ve also beat the end to try and jar it loose. No dice. Since it’s a whole hub unit, I’m not sure if using heat would work?

I’ve been trying to remove the rear drums on my 62 Dart. The shoes are adjusted in and I have pulled on the breaker bar until the axle lifts up and bends the pry bar but it doesn’t budge. I had the center soaking in PB Blaster last night and still nothing. Is there a trick to getting them off...

While I was waiting for the mailman to bring my bracket from Holley, which never showed up today, I played around with the linkage some more. Figured I better do something if I'm to make any cruise-ins or shows this weekend. I made a small bracket that allowed me to put the ball peg in...

When you say outer cable, what are you talking about? There's only one cable.

I have been messing with this setup all morning and can't figure it out. I can adjust the throttle cable to where the carb is closed when the pedal isn't pressed but when the pedal is to the floor the throttle is only open about half way. Conversely, when it's adjusted to open fully it doesn’t...

That's the same thing I did. Did replacing the lifters take care of the tapping noise?

The ones I bought didn't have a chamfer on the base. They measured either .900 or .905.. . I can't remember which.

I replaced all of the lifters today with oem style ones. Engine is much quiter and the knocking has gone. However, during the break in period it backfired through the exhaust when I would get it up between 2500-3000 rpm. I'm wondering if it has something to do with either the MSD box or the...

Actually that's an older picture from last year. The lid is on tight right now. I'll have to pick up a dial indicator anyways.

Yes.. the front of the cam is pink.

For reference, the old lifter is on the left. The HT-2011 is on the right. Seats are different and accommodate the newer push rods. Mine are not. The HT-2011 is also shorter like the original early BB lifters I picked up. I'm going to assume that these lifters came with whatever cam he put in...
