    PRW Water Pump with March Revolver

    I'm not 20, so I don't worry about post count or "likes". But I do understand words have meanings just as proper punctuation does. Accuracy matters.

    PRW Water Pump with March Revolver

    Your original post says you are working on a 383 correct? A 383 water pump doesn't have fittings, the water pump housing does though.

    PRW Water Pump with March Revolver

    On my '67 w 383, the aft hole on water pump housing that is closest to the distributor goes to the fitting closest to the center of the fire wall. Then the "U" hose, then the fitting closest to passenger fender to the hole closest to fan on housing.

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    The vanes on a Flowkooler pump are straight, non directional. The info I am giving him is from my 496" stroker using the same serpentine setup and w/p the OP has. I live where it's 125° in the summer.

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    I had 2 12" Spals, in 2 different custom made shrouds. 2 12" other brand that pulled even more air in a vacuum molded shroud. Nothing worked. At slow cruise, it would cool just fine so I knew my radiator was capable. At interstate speeds, the e-fan shrouds caused a high pressure zone in front of...

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    Please read the OP. It is a serpentine setup. Reverse rotation and they do not have room for fan clutch.

    What brand, size e-fans? Shroud or no shroud on fans?

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    What water pump are you using? Since you're reverse rotation, does it have the backing plate? What is your timing set at w that high of compression? What brand e-fans are you using and size? Shroud or no shroud on them?

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    I used the factory shroud. If you don't have one, Mancini sells a Mopar authorized reproduction. If you look at the pics of the fan, you can see a little black mark on some of the blades. I had to measure each blade and grind the exact same off of each at that angle to clearance the bottom of...

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    Yes, I have their early version that kept a/c in original location. But the face of all the pullies is still in same location. The closest one the fan comes to is the a/c compressor.

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    I saved a couple screen shots and I'm pretty sure this is the one. I run fuel injection, Fitech, and it needs 170° to go into closed loop and start learning. But that parameter can be changed. I set mine to 150° as my engine runs as cool as it does. Won't get over 154° when temps are 80 or less...

    1969 Road runner overheating problem

    I have a 496 w 10.2:1 in '67 Coronet 4dr. I live at 500' and summer temps of 125°. A/C on my car. Running SD concepts also. I am using an Entropy 2 row aluminum radiator. Each row is a true 1.25" with 1/4" between making core 2.75" thick. I'm running a Flowkooler w/p. I could not make any...

    Looking for advice on EFI systems for a 426 HEMI

    If you go to a forum, you will see a few people posting problems. You have to remember that there were probably hundreds of thousands sold, so few people (100) having issues, is nothing. I went efi for the reason posted above, no cylinder wash out. HP wise, I'll be within a few +/- . I'm not...

    Hellcrate, Old School aluminum build, or Modern Gen III Aluminum build?

    Totally agree with that! The Gearvendor on mine is 0.78:1 which combined w 3.73's n 26.5 tires puts me at 2,800 rpm at 70. Interstate here is 75 n I like to cruise at 80. At that point I'm buzzing at 3k. One day I'll change to 3.23's n a bit taller rear tire. I "Never" race it n w 670tq, it'll...

    Hellcrate, Old School aluminum build, or Modern Gen III Aluminum build?

    Totally agree 12 is. But I bet w an 8sp auto, 3.23 gears and 28" tires, plus way better fuel management n timing than a throttle body efi, 17mpg is attainable. 17 is what I get on my daily, '03 Cummins 6sp. That's my most fuel efficient vehicle other than motorcycles. My boats are worse, 2mpg.

    Hellcrate, Old School aluminum build, or Modern Gen III Aluminum build?

    I'd have to disagree w @Sweet5ltr on the "abysmal" mileage. W 3.73's, TF727, Gearvendor o/d which is barely an o/d, 26.5" diameter tires, at 70mph, 2,800rpm I get 12 w Fitech EFI. I bet w a bit better ratio o/d, 3.23 gears, a touch taller tire, 17-20 wouldn't be outa the question w a BBM. But...

    Hellcrate, Old School aluminum build, or Modern Gen III Aluminum build?

    I've got a stroked 383, aluminum heads, w/p n housing, intake manifold and radiator. Use a sanden a/c compressor as it's much smaller n lighter n more efficient. From what I've gathered, mine weighs what a stock small block does now. I'm at 610hp at 5,300 rpm at the crank n 670tq. Definitely...
