Hoses
Looking for the best place for cooling hoses. No one seems to have easy to browse websites to figure what I need. Top / Bottom hose for 360 with aftermarket ally champion rad, also bypass hose.
Fed up of chasing overheating issues and worrying about it when I’m out, so also interested in advice on best brands. Replaced damn near everything so running out of heart.
Thanks

Re: Hoses
Rock auto, standard moulded hoses for the car with a 360 will work. I don't have a favourite make, just avoid the corrugated style.

Re: Hoses
Thanks Blue
Not a fan at all of the corrugated ones, so they definitely aren’t on the cards

Re: Hoses
Do you have any strong opinions on thermostats, Blue?
Got a 195 in it at the moment, which I believe is correct for the engine, but always just feels / smells hot. Also when I turn it off it always gets way hot before it starts to cool. Couple that with the fact that it’s a Bananarama! to start when hot and I was considering a lower temp thermostat.
Whole cooling system is getting me down now.

Re: Hoses
You need a cooler stat, 180 to 185 is the ideal temp. I prefer the high flow Mr Gasket ones. I like to use a coolent recovery tank to ensure the radiator is free of air. What fan do you have and what’s your initial timing set at?

Re: Hoses
Viscous fan, can’t remember if timing was 4 or 6 before tdc
Pic of fan below. Will check out coolant recovery tanks.

Re: Hoses
Looks like I have some reading to do. Any suggestions?
I’ll order a new stat, been pondering that one for a while.

Re: Hoses
Cheers Blue. Where do you buy your thermostats from? Can’t seem to find them UK or rock Auto.
Intrigued that they are recommended for hi rev applications.

Re: Hoses
John Woolfe Racing have some 180 Degree High Flow Stats....
You need to set the All in Timing first and then work back to see what initial timing you have.
Aim for 34 degrees all in timing, Vac off....

Get yourself a copy of this, easy to understand guide to setting ignition and carb. Also have a look on the tech section of the site, learn and digest!

Re: Hoses
Ah yes that would help..http://4secondsflat.com/Demon_Tuning_Guide.html
Their distributor limit plate is the easiest way to stop the standard Mopar distributor from over advancing once you've cranked up the initial timing,
