    Good data. Thank you!

    Acceptable engine temp

    First roadrunner and was a little surprised the shroud was so shallow?Im sure there is one but not sure of the engineering reasoning? I think the 16# cap is ok and will replace the thermostat for 180 just so I’m more aware how hot I should expect to run. A new car to me. Motor professionally...

    Acceptable engine temp

    Thanks for confirming. Have intentions to get Glen-ray to build one. Ultimately that’s the longer term solution I believe. Appreciate you weighing in.

    Thanks. Will go through Glen Ray at some point. Knowing this helps.

    Confirmed 16# now.

    Unfortunately stock rad was swapped out for aftermarket - highly original car. Is that the stock shroud can you tell?

    Acceptable engine temp

    Thanks for the input everybody. New car to me so I don’t know what temp thermostat. Does the cap indicate what #pressure the cap is?

    Acceptable engine temp

    ‘69 road runner 383 bored .060 over and 22” radiator. The 3 gauge cluster temp is reading climbs up to a high of 195-200 after 30 minutes or so of moderate driving - averaging 2300-2400 rpm. It can get a little hotter if I’m pushing it harder. It then holds steady around just under 200. Creeps...

    Acceptable engine temp

    ‘69 road runner with 383 .060 over and 22” radiator. The 3 gauge cluster temp is reading it gets up to a high of 195-200 after 30 miles or so of moderate driving - averaging 2300-2400 rpm. It does hold steady after that. Creeps up to 205 at most in stop and go traffic. I know over bored motors...

    Calculating expected rpm/speed for 3.23 stick gears

    Ok. If an automatic that’s where multiplying the 336 x1.05 equates to 355, representing the 5% slip for the manual? Not to go down a rabbit hole, but what is the actual final unit of measure the 336/355 represents? I tried reducing the equation to a final calculated measure but get lost in the...

    Calculating expected rpm/speed for 3.23 stick gears

    I should have asked for clarity. In the formula, where does the 336 constant (it’s a manual) come from? I get the 5% converter slip but curious. Thanks!

    Can’t get more than 3/4 tank of gas?

    Thanks everybody!

    Can’t get more than 3/4 tank of gas?

    You’re right and thanks for the links. I did look but prob not as much as I could. Thanks Mike.

    Can’t get more than 3/4 tank of gas?

    No overfill but one of the things I was concerned about. Didn’t look down the neck tho. Thanks.

    Can’t get more than 3/4 tank of gas?

    69 roadrunner. New car for me. First two times filling up it shuts off around 3/4 tank. A faulty gauge or specific way to get more full?

    2 different broadcast sheets for the same car?

    Hmmm. Ok so for example I understand what you’re suggesting is a parts carrier order could have included some parts needed for my car, but the carrier could have their own relevant build sheet with their specific sequence number (maybe delivery date relevance for the line to know the necessary...

    2 different broadcast sheets for the same car?

    Ha. @DeltaV I’m listening. It was my grocery getter yesterday! I do need to get a longer drive in before the weather turns.

    2 different broadcast sheets for the same car?

    Yeah right? But the strange factor is the VIN on both sheets is my car, and reflects all codes correctly as my car. Simply a typo with preparing the form? Both ended up in my in my car? The sequence numbers are C030298 and C030167. Does that translate to line builds 131 cars apart? Anyway am...

    Calculating expected rpm/speed for 3.23 stick gears

    Makes perfect math logic. BUT, hardly as much as fulfilling as factoring through a polynomial equation… Ok, ok its not actually polynomial. But I did get that rare chance to use the abacus again. In all seriousness, mainly for giggles I’m solving for the rare chance the stock 3.23 gears have...
