Sorry I did not get back with you yesterday on this. As Bluefury 361 stated, yes the fan clutch with the thermal spring is the one to use, the spring senses heat and make the clutch engage when the temp. gets to high. The spring in your lower radiator hose would have to be and inch thick to...

Is the cooling system clean? Correct thermostat? Shroud on the radiator? Lower radiator hose have a spring in it to keep it from collapsing? Hood to cowl seal in tact?

Thanks for the thread. I am in the process of doing this upgrade on my polara and this has been extremely helpful . Did you install a low pressure compressor cut-off switch in the system?

Go lucky. Happened about 2 miles away from an exit on the I-190. Huge plume of smoke scattered traffic behind. I figured I was safe since the car was running and all the gauges were normal. Rolled off the highway and coasted to stop three blocks from the guy who is painting my wagon. Determined...

Timing is advanced about an inch below bottom of metal guide tab near harmonic balancer. Lower radiator hose has spring in it. Heating is proportional to speed. Heat camera shots dosent look bad.

Seems you have done all the "right" things. However, an investment in a hand held laser heat gun would go a long way. You can spot check many areas of the radiator, cooling system, engine, and exhaust to see if there is any hot spots that stand out. My '73 Fury showed hot to overheating on...

I'll throw my two cents in. My 69 Sport Fury was originally sold in Blythe, CA by Ellison Chrysler Plymouth, my scheduled production date is 5/23/69 and it was registered to the original owners, Albert C Romines and Verba Rowley Romines on June 12 1969, they resided in Blythe, CA so I believe...

Cooling system is relatively clean, as it overheats often, and coolant is replaced. I would say coolant is not crud-filled. I have an exhaust leak between manifold and flange on passenger (starboard) side. It is a leak, but not what I would describe as major. The radiator is a 2v radiator, I...

Question, car seems to run hot while up to speed. Everything is new you can name. I'm thinking maybe the lower hose may be collapsing at higher rpm. It's a direct fit molded hose but no spring inside it. Anyone know of a spring I could buy or the hose that comes with it? It was 80 today and...

A thermostat ONLY controls the minimum operating temperature, it has NOTHING to do with the maximum operating temperature of an engine. Only exception would be if the thermostat was not opening completely as it should and therefore restricting water flow. Lower hose spring is a good idea...

Here are a couple of other things to think about. From 1970 on, most 383 or 440 cars will have disc brakes as standard. Starting in 1973, factory electronic ignition and disc brakes became standard on most models. Shoulder and lap belts were standard starting about 1970, but they were the...

Good nuggets, Dave. Thanks! I am a bit leery of the 4-piston discs. Dunno if that's for a good reason. I thought Lean Burn didn't start till late 70s?

This is essential the account of how I converted my 68 New Yorker from the factory installed RV-2 compressor to a more modern Sanden 508 compressor. This information can be dredged up throughout here, but I thought it would be nice to have it in one place. Honestly, when I bought the car I had...

no one has indicated what the normal temp should be. lower hose has spring radiator 6 mo ago cleaned thermostat 180 deg

I'm going to replace the upper radiator hose on my 1966 Newport soon as it feels a bit "soft" to my liking and I don't want an on the road burst. However, I was shopping Rock Auto and there are options for with and without AC. I don't have AC so I would obviously get that one. But out of...

Taking these 2 facts into account: I think the radiator is causing the problem, no flow visible with open thermostat and a new lower hose without spring that goes flat tells me the pump can't get it out of the radiator.

The other day I needed to put a new upper heater hose for my 1969 318 Polara. I went online and checked the three parts stores we have in town (O'Reily, AutoZone and NAPA) along with RockAuto. The only one they list was the universal flex hose. This car does not have AC but the AC hose was...

Makes sense now that you mention it. Think of a thick milkshake trying to get it through the straw. I guess i didnt think that cuz water flows through it seemingly well when i put the garden hose to it. I have another radiator think ill try that one today. Posted via Topify on Android

While doing what I want with it... I still can't get by some " incorrectness" .. The hoses will be correct before next spring. I can say Stan won't agree with what happens on this car but I can't help it..sorry buddy

The spring is internal to the lower hose and keeps the hose from contracting and closing off. There's debate if you need it, but usually you can salvage the old one. The upper A/C hose is a little longer with a slightly different shape to get around the compressor and to reach the outlet on the...
