New guy from Michigan

[ilm65]

Hi All, I'm the newest guy from Plymouth, Michigan. This is my third 65 Plymouth B-Body (first two were Belvedere II's, this one is a Satellite). It's undergone a complete rotisserie restoration with complete Legendary interior (black) painted 02 G.M. Medium Red Metallic (much darker than the name implies). It's fitted with a 440 + .030 with Edelbrock heads, KB pistons, Straightline Cam, A&A Trans cross-ram, TTI 3", Dana 3:73, etc. First showing of car at Autorama 09, first place in Conservative Hardtop, 65-66. Now my question: I'm currently rebuilding the door hinges. They're ready for re-assembly and I realized the rollers are trash. Does anyone know where to get just the rollers? I've ordered a pair of 67-68 Camaro door hinge rollers (they look alike, but haven't received them yet). Help!

Beautiful car.

How is the alum radiator and twin fans working for you - thinking about the same setup myself.

Hi Ralph,
This is a Be Cool radiator and fan system. I originally had this same radiator with a custom aluminum shroud with dual Spal 11" fans, but ran 220 degrees on the highway--190 in traffic. Not realizing that I needed further air flow and could've "vented" the shroud, I sold it and went to a 16" pusher along with a 7 blade belt driven fan. Still running hot (not quite as badly) I went to the prescribed Be Cool shroud and dual fan system. This has been the best so far. Recently (after toying with thermostats, Evans coolant, and other cooler running fixes), I changed the jetting on the carburetors to a richer setting and that, by far, has made the biggest difference. It'll run 180-190 just about all the time. Hope this helps.
