Where can I find a smaller pully for my 383 pump/fan?
I want to try it. Seems logical

Expense of a pulley? The ones I use were1/2 inch smaller. We wont lock
horns. You can do what you want. What i do works though and
everytime.. Last
one I fixed was Bill Parsons (former carlisle winner) black 64
Dodge. It
went from undrivable in traffic n hot days to no trouble at all in
about 10
minutes and for about $2 and some paint and elbow grease.
Why does it work? because it gets the water pump and fan speed up
above the
level of trouble to what it would be in moving traffic. Sometimes on
a hot
motor (as in modified) idle water pump speed in gear is just not
enough to
produce enuf flow through the rad and the fan is not making enuf
wind. A
small reduction in WP pulley size makes a signfincant increase in WP
speed
which is also fan speed . However Ollie, if your'e happy and your
problem is
solved then i am happy. I am only trying to help.

Don,
The 318 pully you suggested was the exact same as the 440. Why the
expense
of a pully, new belts when a simple water pump will solve 90% of
problems?
I will stick to my high teck less than a $100 fix.
We lock ram horns on this issue.

I read all these cooling deals. I have fixed many with a simple
pulley
change. It gets over ninety here in Canada quite often (was 82
yeasterday)and occasionally we d see 100F. Still car runs fine as
do the
ones I fixed. I think the tech must still be around on site. it
works and
costs a lot less that several rads doubleyoked mikawaky pumps and
nuclear
thermostats. I know , it is too simple. Cant help that. It works

Subject: RE: Replacement Radiator Question
I too have gone through about 3 semi-stock radiators in a quest to
actually cool the beast. Finally I found an aluminum crossflow
radiator
from Summit with a trans cooler. I did have to take it to my
radiator
shop to have the lower neck repositioned. I also added a drain
pitcock
which it did not have. Even with all this work I only have about
$330
total in it including a 16lb cap from Summit. I can't say how
well it
will work yet as I'm not quite done. It certainly looks like I
have more
cooling area. I did have to fab some supports but you could just
have
the radiator shop install it for you. I doubt it would cost over
$200
for that install. There was a small issue with the horns too as
they
were too close and I had to reshape the brackets for clearance. My
custom battery box also had to be notched but it missed my
battery OK.
All in all it wasn't that hard to do and it looks very nice. I
found
some hoses that fit OK after some searching. I used a Gates 21673
on the
top and a NAPA flex hose #FM-44 on the bottom. This may not be
the same
for hoses in your case as mine is a poly. I am getting a high
volume
t-stat too as I think that may have also been an issue with my
high flow
pump. I'll send you some pictures seperate. I did send some to
Gary H to
add to my list pictures.
I totally understand your dilema. Good luck, it is doable.

is just
starting to get warm.
I did a search on the Internet and came up with:
http://www.usradiator.com/default.htm
I talked to them and although none are listed on their site they
do
make
one for my car.
I don't have the time or skills to adapt a rediator, I want a
direct
replacement unit. I've given up on trying to keep the stock
look. I
would be interested in knowing other choices that some of you
may have
had good experience with.
Thanks
