I have 11/69 dated 383 with a waterpump casting # of 2780987 and an impeller w/ #3671083.
My challenger shop manual states that a 383 4bbl should have an impeller w/ a diam of 4-3/8" and 8 blades. The one I have (#3671083) only has diam of 3-1/2" and only 6 blades. I have had problems with overheating.
Question: Would changing to a larger impeller(4-3/8 w/ 8 blades) make a noticable increase in cooling ability?
Thanks in advance
