Electronic ignition started in 71, I had a 71 340 Duster with points, but in B bodies in the 440's etc. the electronic ign. started. 72 was the year all cars got it.

Lets talk small blocks. When Chevy came out with the 265, they were being put into everything back in the late 50's that was some kind of hot rod. A friend of mine had a 53 Studebaker and put a SBC in it. I don't remember hearing of any polys going into rods back then. Mopar comes out with the...

I know the Ebody dimmer switch is garbage, and when I rotate it, it shorts out. I don't know if the bbody is just as bad.

I have a cooler on a hemi with a Saginaw pump, post #27, that was originally on a 383.

Most of us don't have a #1 resto project so it's hard to see spending $1400 for a radiator. I have a BeCool radiator, and at $600 I thought it was a lot, but worth in the end.

Here's a picture of my PS cooler that came from the factory in 71. Of course that's not a 383 spinning the pump.

I'll be truthful I have no idea when Mopar added the coolers in the PS circuit. I just know my 71 Cuda with 3.90 gears came with it. Could be they had some kind of failure in the PS circuit and the cooler would eliminate it. Fluid getting too hot and maybe have seal problems from the hotter than...

You answered your own Question. More RPM's create more heat because pump is turning faster. So the cooler dissipates the heat of the liquid.

You don't have a PS cooler because it came from the factory with 3.23's. My 68 Road Runner had 323's and no PS cooler. Only if you ordered the car with 3.91's did it come with PS cooler.

To clarify what you said, do you mean you can't pull out of second to go into third?

Mopar only added the PS cooler to cars with 3.90 and higher rear end gears. I have a 71 Cuda, originally 383, 4 speed with 3.90's and it has a PS cooler.

You probably don't know how it was converted to dot 5 and if wheel cylinders were replaced to use dot 5. I have a 05 ram PU and had a front caliper freeze up, and destroy the rotor, so I replaced both fronts rotors, calipers and pads. I noticed new calipers uses some sort of plastic piston...

Maybe car is allergenic to your driveway, and that' s why it spills its guts. Talk about a weird problem, this is it.

On my gen2 hemi I fill the filter halfway to penetrate the filter media. The only 2 filters are the slant six and the B engine filter I can't fill up before installing and I no longer own the six.

He does say Hemi parts.
