Have you replaced the radiator cap?
Reversing the outlet hole to the other side......isn't on the "correct factory" side now?

Good question! You'd think Ma Mopar put it in the best place to begin with but I guess improvements can always be made.

it is on the correct side now........so the question satill remains, why is this thnig running hotter then usual? Maybe with the wrong wtr pump on it?
Yes, picked up a new cap from him as well.
BTW, this guy told me he could build me a radiator if he needed to........the last of a dying breed. i love it.

I don't know if there are aftermarket ones available for Mark's car. I know there isn't any aftermarket ones for Formals. Might have a chance finding one in one of those old Mopar junkyards that's been on FCBO lately.
Great! I'll know where to go if I need radiator work. Does he have a website?
This past spring.....my NY'er started to overheat and I was going to pull the radiator. I went to AAP and borrowed their (loaner tool) radiator cap tester. The radiator was good to go and held 16 psi. The damn radiator cap was bad!

Interesting, the Fury piece has a different part number and is only built for a Fury

just got the whole thing back together, and as usual, there's a problem. Can someone explain to me why the frigging pump pulley isn't moving? i checked the belt, does not seem too tight or too loose. what i have is the belt moving from the crank and alt pulleys but it goes around the pump pulley w/o moving it. moves freely by hand when the belt is off it but not with the belt on.

Wrong size pulley on the pump? Compare it to the other pulley's to make sure it isn't too big.
