    Needing help

    But what TYPE of fan(s) are you using? Probably a propeller type? You mentioned that the fans are 3300 cfm....but at what static pressure? Since the fans are "puller" type, any resistance to air flow, measured in inches/wg, (inches of water) will reduce the actual air capacity the fan will...

    Tic Toc Tach Accuracy

    The original Tic-Toc-Tach had resistors and capacitors which had +/- 20% tolerance and old style germanium junction transistors and volt meter (calibrated to read RPM) of the moving coil design and a +/- 10% accuracy......which accounts for the marginal overall accuracy. The new upgrades that...

    Rejuvenating old batteries

    My philosophy.......the battery gets one chance NOT to start the car......then it gets REPLACED, with an equal or one with more amp hours / more Cold Cranking Amps capacity. Just quit "fiddlily ******* around" AND BUY a new battery......it's just not worth the hassle coaxing an old dead...

    Flameless wrist pin install

    Out of curiosity, does anyone ever use FULL FLOATING WRIST PINS?? Slip fit in he piston pin boss and slip fit in the rod. The piston is machined to accept: EITHER a SPIROLOX RING OR a WALDES I.D. TRU-ARC RING. Double retainer rings both sides to prevent excessive Axial pin movement...

    Flameless wrist pin install

    Induction heating is an excellent solution. It is used in industry all the time to heat bearing races, roller bearings, etc just about any application requiring a press or clearance fit. Rather than the "Army method" of brute force and blind ignorance, Suggest using a TEMPLE STICK, of the...

    Mystery part, ERP valve?

    The TXV controls the liquid refrigerant inlet (volume of refrigerant) to evaporator, based on the outlet TEMPERATURE of the evaporator, via a sensing capillary/bulb system, acting on the temperature of the exiting refrigerant. The capillary's system gas has the same characteristics as the...

    I need Mopar trivia questions and answers for our Mopar club Christmas party.

    Most of the 'Cuda's used in NASH BRIDGES were not Hemi cars but we're 383s or 440s made to resemble Hemi cars.. I thought that there were 12 '71 Hemi Cudas built.....7 auto trans and 5 4 speed cars....???? BOB RENTON

    Mystery part, ERP valve?

    MOST...but not all older GM systems used the CCOT (Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube) refrigerant control (he orifice tube replaced the TXV) and cycled the compressor Clutch on PRESSURE exiting the evaporator to prevent freezing. Approximately 28 psi off / 38 psi on, or any average of 34 psi using...

    Mystery part, ERP valve?

    Depends on if you're using the original V2 compressor using R12 refrigerant, then the EPR valveis needed. It controls the suction pressure to a constant value, independent on compressor RPM. If converting using a V2 compressor and R134A refrigerant, remove the EPR valve and then use new...

    I need Mopar trivia questions and answers for our Mopar club Christmas party.

    Depends on whether you're a metric or US measurement person.....grams/sec or pounds/hr and both rely on density at a specific temperature either in degrees C or degrees F.......or Rankin degrees......what's your pleasure???? BOB RENTON

    Alternator Replacement

    IMO....rebuild it yourself. As it's 1969 vintage, it is likely that the brushes need replaced. If it's charging at all, the diodes are probably OK, along with the stator and rotor windings. Very likely the front bearing is going bad (noisy). This bearing is a 6203RSS single row sealed...

    '68 GTX 440HP Over Heating

    Do you really NEED/(or just want) a "high stall" converter? Whats the application? The heat load caused by the torque converter at highway speeds can be as high as 300°+F, depending upon the percentage of slip, the higher slip, the greater the cooler's surface area to dissipate needs to...

    Time for a new carb. Advice?

    Sure, I have feeling's for "DynaBro" and his issues, but that is a classical case of doing zero research b4 hand, then blaming everyone (me) for the results because he doesn't understand the concept. He has called me just about every name in the book that he can muster.....that is so childish...

    Time for a new carb. Advice?

    TRIPE!!! WHAT A HOOT......Just because YOU do not understand the terminology, I suggest that you LEARN THE TERMINOLOGY AND THEORY AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF HOW A CARBURETOR INDUCTION SYSTEM OPERATES, to understand and it's not based on some unspecified magazine article(s) and not on...

    Time for a new carb. Advice?

    Except that the only common feature is the "adjustable" air valve opening adjustment...they do not share any others features other than they WERE made by Carter and the AVS II is not a spread bore, metering is similar but not interchangeable. The T-Quad was based roughly on the GM Q-jet, which...

    Time for a new carb. Advice?

    Show us your dyno, runs using all three choices, or flow velocity calcs, rather than "I'm sure the 800CFM AVS will be fine"....based on what?? A seat of the pants guesstimate? What if it it isn't correct?...are you willing to buy the wrong carb for the OP?? We're talking Mopar...not...
