Earls & Russell have them in alum or for about 1/10 the cost you can get steel AN fittings from an Industrial Hose company

Ok I checked into both of those.  Didn't see any kits for mopars.   :eeksmall: 


OK I have a 70 440 block with 3 openings for heater hoses, does one get plugged?  Idiot light or something?

Which one is the return??

the one closest to the termostat is the one to plug , the front one needs to have the bolt inserted before you put the nipple in

Man, this is great 4C...keep asking all your stupid questions.  We need all the stupid answers because we're right behind you with the water stuff.

Thanks REV

I went down to the local Auto Parts store today and a guy on my bowling league works there so he let me look throught the hoses to see if I can find something that would work with my griffin radiator.  The lower one I found fits like a glove and the upper one isn't too bad either.

there is a bolt that hold the pump onto the block that is behind the front pipe nipple , there are 2 ways to handle this , either mount the pump onto the block first & then install the nipple or put the bolt through the housing now , install the nipple & then tighten the bolt with an open end wrench when you install the pump onto the block

If I hadn't already made all the mistakes I would miss them
 there is no Kit for the An fittings , you need to buy each fitting at $5-25 each & buy steel braid hose & built it all

Ok well maybe after I get it up and running I'll consider that a couple winters from now!  OK next stupid question . . . .


I bought a steering column hardware kit and this is what I got.  What are the white plastic pieces for and how/where do they attach??

they slide into the metal support plate that bolts to the column the studs go through the plastic isolators & the wide washers are uysed against the plastic/nylon pieces

What great help to all !!!

One thing I might add being a drag racer. If you plan on racing your car the tech guy is not going to let you race with excessive rubber fuel hose. Rule of thumb is no more than 1 foot on the whole car.
