Dartgame Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Would like to know what brand your fan is, is it modified to fit the water pump hub ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 I personally only refer to the stock 6 blade fan offered by Ma Mopar...it is correct is all aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kencombs Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 23 hours ago, Dan Hiebert said: The original equipment radiator cap was 7lbs. Pressurized cooling systems are intended to allow for a wider coolant temperature operating range, so your car can run hotter than one with a non-pressurized system without venting coolant. The adverse effect of too high a pressure cap is too much heat deteriorating components that the heat and pressure combination would then cause to fail, more so hoses and other rubber components. Not so much the freeze plugs. The original radiators in these cars were also not intended / designed to withstand a lot of pressure. If the Champion radiator folks have included a 13lb cap, then it stands to reason their unit is engineered for 13lbs. With modern materials in new hoses and such, you will have no problems with running that 13 lbs. cap. I plan to use a higher pressure cap also. But, It'll have a new heater core also. That is a potential weak point often overlooked. And really messy it it fails! Maybe I'm wrong but have no concerns at all with the core plugs.

Mine is a stock 6 blade fan from a '56 Plymouth Suburban. I believe the '55 and '56 model years had 6 blade fans. Seems like they went back to the 4 blade after '56.

I think you only have to worry about the plugs if they're already suspect in the first place. If they are "new" or you have a well maintained system, then you're right, no concerns. I don't think a new heater core would be much of a concern, although 98% of coolant system failure leaks I've ever had issues with were heater cores. Thankfully they were all work vehicles. Relatively new at the time but saw hard use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
