My gut is telling me your current alternator is not giving those fans enough juice to spin those fans very fast. Based on my recent education on this topic, those two fans alone likely draw more amps than a stock alternator can put out. The upgraded alternator should help, but please, please...

I think you just created a Mopar version of this: :rofl:

Congrats on this latest accomplishment Isaiah! I know hearing that engine fire up has been a long time coming for you. Super excited for your progress. Keep it up!

While my heat soak issue is not carb related (I have an EFI), I am curious about the original post about any success stories using a phenolic spacer? My system has a 1/2” tall aluminum spacer in there now which I am Thinking of switching out to phenolic. Looking for some success stories so I...

This is looking great Isaiah. I ditched the AC when I had my 440 rebuilt a few years ago. I learned through that process that it wasn’t just the brackets that needed replacing, but a lot of the pulley alignments were off when switch to nonAC equipment. I wish I had more details for you, but mine...

When I was in Durban, seemed like everything had a wall around it with an electric fence on top. I was staying at a bed and breakfast a block from my moms hospital and asked about the electric fences. The inn keeper mentioned that they are a legacy from the Apartheid days but everyone still...

If you think you and your buddies are going to explore Joburg on the days you’re there, consider hiring a private driver. The driver will know all the right places to go, plus they are right hand drive cars there. Not only is it worth the money for the driver, you’ll reduce your risk of turning...

Hey there MEV - I had to take a trip to Durban at the end of 2019 (my mom fell while getting off a cruise ship a snapped her femur in two). I was only there for 30 hours total, and never left the Durban area, but I could tell there were parts of town that were fine, and parts of town that were...

‘a man, a plan, a canal, panama’ so that actually has nothing to do with this thread, it’s just the longest palindrome I know and your note made me think of it. :) @Ghostultramarine i have really been enjoying your posts of all your work. Keep it up my man. Seems like you are really breathing...

This is the one I bought last year. No too long by any means: 1968 - 1979 Chrysler New SPEEDOMETER CABLE Newport New Yorker 300 Imperial MoPar | eBay

I don’t think it is actually flooded, just kind of acts like it... turn the key to on, can hear the prime shot charge, give it a crank. It sounds like it’s going to fire, then just kinda of ‘chugs’. Try again and it just cranks, no indication it is going to fire up. Again, this is only when the...

I am trying to dial in a hot [no]start issue I run into on warm days. Cold start is just fine, driving it for hours is great. But if I make a quick stop somewhere, say to fill up for gas or grab something at the store, it won’t start. Acts like it is flooded. Even the handheld controller acts...

Reviving this thread in the hopes of comparing some notes while trying to also diagnose a hot start problem I am having with my FiTech. On warm days (90F +), my engine usually won’t start after short stop... say 30 minutes or less. It fires right up at a cold start and runs great the entire...

I just found these on Amazon: Genuine Mopar P4529880 Chrome Breather Cap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CJ41XG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_HzN5Eb3Y6EWKK No port for a PCV, but says they’re designed to fit the MP aluminum VCs.

Ahhhh. I am tracking you now. as a follow up question.... would the rubber grommet in the non-twisty one work in the twisty opening currently in the MP VCs? (This is more about me thinking out loud, but no reason you all shouldn’t hear my internal dialogue )

I am going through this same process on my 68 with similar MP valve covers. Thanks for the pics. I am leaning towards this set, but don’t see that the intake side is vented. Polished Aluminum Valve Cover Breather / PCV Kit W/ Grommets Chevy Ford Mopar V8 | eBay It seems like the intake side...

YES!!!! Thank you @triple red!

Thanks for the additional info. @CBODY67 i think what you described is what I am experiencing. @Davea Lux i am not running a PCV system. Any suggestions on where I might research an aftermarket system? thank you again for your advice and guidance!

Thanks for the quick reply. I am always a bit embarrassed that I do not know more details about my own car... but I always appreciate the education. These are the covers I have on my 440 (pic from the Internet). Is that the baffle on the underside?

Seems like every time I take my car out for a drive, a small bit of oil makes its way out of the breather cap on the valve cover. I have the cast aluminum Mopar Performance covers, with what I would call an ‘typical’ breather cap. any recommendations on anything better I should be looking for...
