    Overheats on the freeway but not when cruising around town?

    Start the car and get it warm. Open the hood and watch the lower radiator hose as you bring the engine to 3 or 4 thousand RPM and see if the hose collapses.

    Rad to shroud clearance

    Yes, you should glue a piece of black foam in the gap. The most important time to have all of the air flow going through the radiator is when you're idling. When you're doing 45 or so, there is enough air flow to keep things cool but when you're stuck in traffic you need all the help you can get.

    What Are You Using to Flush Radiator?

    I like to use a gallon of ZEP calcium and rust remover and a little bit of water to top it off, run it with the cap off until it gets warm and then drain it and flush it with water. When you refill the system, use distilled water and anti freeze.

    water pump choice

    You can put a 20 blade fan on the engine, but ultimately it will be the thermostat's opening and closing that will effect the cooling! I personally like flex fans because they move alot of air, and they flatten out at high RPM and use less HP. Remember to use a fan shroud! They work.

    Ideas to remove squirrel cage off heater motor?

    Not enough heat to travel up the motor shaft and melt anything, just enough to expand the squirrel cage fit so it releases from the shaft! You can put an air nozzle on the shaft to cool it down after trying. Heat it for twenty seconds, then cool it. Try thirty seconds, then cool it. Heat IS...

    Ideas to remove squirrel cage off heater motor?

    No, I don't think we mean a little heat like in a hair dryer, we mean a nice oxy-acetylene torch with a small tip and heat it quickly for about thirty seconds! That'll do it!

    Question for those who have rebuilt non-AC heater box.

    I have a 68 GTX and my door does not have the two piece design with the rivets! Got my kit from Detroit Muscle too.

    these won’t rust and corrode

    Great idea. I plan on buying a couple of Stainless steel nipples and doing the machine work on them to do what you did. Hey, when it's yours you can do it!

    Heater box gaskets and ducts...

    Now the only advice I can give you is to glue the seal to the heater box with 3M weather strip adhesive. After the glue sets up, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly on the face of the seal. Install the box and then take off the grate so you can see up into where the seal is with a mirror. Use...

    Dripping water behind header plate

    WoW! You said it was a fresh 440? I don't know about that! Now you have me worried!

    Dripping water behind header plate

    yes, but don't use Silicone sealer. It'll only cause more problems. The factory uses studs because the body of the stud is larger than the threaded portion. so it seals pretty good. when using bolts, you have to use a good sealer like a Permatex product. I'm not sure exactly which one. There's...
