    need to cool down max wedge in traffic and stop lights

    Good deal on matched pulleys. To sync them you need a sync tool, it measures the vacuum of incoming air. I'm probably wrong on unit of measure. disconnect carb linkage let it warm up. you adjust the main idle screw to give highest value. repeat on other carb. You do this a couple of times...

    need to cool down max wedge in traffic and stop lights

    You should be able to cool it with what you have. I have a similar set up and no problem with cooling. I do run an AC waterpump, and I did change out 4 blade for a 7 blade fan as a "just because " kind of thing. So if you are looking for a 7 blade fan, you can go after market derale or 4...

    Block Flush, Need Advice

    Like others have mentioned, you should see definate temp drop from top hose to rad and bottom hose 30 degrees I would say would be good. Yes definately take measurements at all 4 corners of the block and heads and record everything. Do your temp readings after a couple of mins of run time...

    Block Flush, Need Advice

    Do you have an IR heat gun? if not I suggest you get one. They are invaluable in diagnosing things. Check top hose and bottom outlet of rad to see how much of a temp drop you have. Then check front to back of block on both sides to see those temps. Back of motor will always be a little...

    383 running hot

    Forgot in my original post.. if you dont already have one... get an IR temp gun. HF has them pretty cheap. measure temp at thermostat housing, then measure temp at bottom hose see how much temp difference you have. IR temp guns are invaluable in diagnosing things. Also as a kid I worked at a...

    383 running hot

    No more than 210. If you can find oem fan blade and fan shroud is a step in right direction. Making sure block is clean, I've removed the pipe plugs on the sides of the block before only to have them either plugged solid with muck or very slow draining, if this seen chances are you clean clean...

    Cooling not worth a SH!T

    How much motor movement do you have aka rocking when you get on it? Or brake torque? Just asking since you said the pulley bolts self clearanced on the shroud. Nor trying to be a buzz kill, but hate to see something else give you grief, especially if your 50 miles from home. Happy that its...

    Cooling not worth a SH!T

    If you do use a small towel, just be ready to let go of it in case the blade grabs it. You'll know it as soon as you start to apply pressure to blades. Have you contacted Hayden to see what they have to say? I remember as a kid selling autoparts the fan clutch boxes had arrows on the saying...

    Cooling not worth a SH!T

    What ive done in the past to see if the fan clutch was locked up while running is to take a decent size towel thats bunched up and start to apply pressure to fan blade. If the cluch mech is working that towel wont stop it, and you can tell. If the clutch is bad the applied pressure from the...

    Where are the 318 gurus? coolant leak!

    Yup thats one of those temporary fix freeze plugs. Time to put a brass one in. At least its up front where you can work on it. Once you remove the rubber plug look inside see how clean it is. Now might be the time to back flush everything before putting a metal plug in. Make sure there are no...

    Running too hot

    Have you checked your timing? If its waay retarded your motor will run hot, any motor will run warmer than normal. All of the suggestions people have given are very good and are needed for really efficient cooling. But since you just got it and want to play with your new toy a little try and...
