  1. Thanks for the input ! Just what I was looking for. Read in the reviews that a guy stuck the fuse on the ground side, had no more blown fuses. made me laugh. Wire harness is like new. sat in barn for 15-18 years. thinking wire gauge isn't adequate. Guess when the MPI engine goes in I'll redo that wiring at the same time.
  2. reading this thread all the way through, every word, brings me to ask here instead of a new post... The wide Block. This post is mainly about the SHORT block(meaning minus the head). I have everything to build a g54( 3 short blocks, marnel head, TimC monster cam, MPI intake ect). SO, should i sell that stuff and build a 4g64 and stick a 4 valve head on it ? seems it could be cheaper (same build money) and get more streetable HP and better manners. also wondering if/why OP went with a g54, not the g64 with all the money/time spent ? I'm enjoying the different takes on the same builds. and some good info too. Went with the longer rods(Scat 7.1")on my 440 based 512 stroker just for the reasons pointed out in the article DAD posted(great read). I Won't work as hard on the street with lots of miles ;-) , C300
  3. P/N Summit quoted me. This is what i'm talking about. says it opens at 85-80C. but 3 part #'s are mixed together. and say 100-95C. by the way, these are listed as NO LONGER AVAILABLE from this particular Factory, C300 http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/UT8gs5FXj4bXXagOFbXU/206036469/UT8gs5FXj4bXXagOFbXU.jpg
  4. Tech From Summit Racing said they can order the sensors from some company. they don't do OEM stuff, so they aren't in the catalog. $45 each. he doesn't have the spec's on them, just left N right sensors. so there's no telling what the ON-Temp. is I have 10 sitting here that open too late. and at $50 each it's pissing me off ! Thanks for the info !, C300.
  5. Has anyone used this Product ? Tech From Summit Racing recommended it. Derale Cooling Products 16749 - Derale Performance Deluxe Adjustable Controllers with Pipe Threaded Probes Has Sending Unit Thread Size: 3/8-18 NPT I'm sure that's a bung change on the Radiator. Seeing the post for the $120 E-bay Aluminum Radiator I'm thinking of ordering Both. 2 Adj. sensors. one for each fan. and a Rad. at that price, why not. Are there 2 3/8-18 bungs on that Rad. ? Tired of the sensor issue. had 4 go bad under 2 year warranty on a "87 back in the day. Still having same problem. run hot, crack head. all for a crap sensor, Can't/won't drive car until i fix this issue, C300 Can' UN-Bold the type !!!
  6. Thanks for the info. I have the MM for the 86 and 88 downloaded. no Parts Manuals, so no P/N's. Should start calling this the "Classic starquestclub" since they aren't listing then anymore. will Download the IPC's. here's some info i found. looked Russian before i converted it. The low temp. passenger side one listed says it's for the 1983-1984 cars. Comes on at 185 degree Fahrenheit. Good info, lowest on temp stock. I have only ordered '85 ad up, being the models i've owned, Thanks again, C300 No PNC # OEM part number Count on one machine Title Specification Note Color Production period Condition Classification Under the order In stock 1 10322 MB007639 01 SENSOR, RADIATOR WATER TEMPERATURE ON-85 1983.08.1 - 1984.09.3 ALL < 2 10322 MB356842 01 SENSOR, RADIATOR WATER TEMPERATURE ON-90 1986.01.1 - 1986.09.3 SRHWG <TOURING EXCEED, 4FA / T 3 10322 MB435745 01 SENSOR, RADIATOR WATER TEMPERATURE ON-100 1986.01.1 - 1986.09.3 SRHWG <TOURING EXCEED, 4FA / T 4 10322 MB356842 01 SENSOR, RADIATOR WATER TEMPERATURE ON-90 1986.10.1 - 1987.09.3 ALL < 5 10322 MB435745 01 SENSOR, RADIATOR WATER TEMPERATURE ON-100 1986.10.1 - 1987.09.3 ALL <
  7. The local Mits Dealer Doesn't have the Manuals "back that far" anymore. Need P/N to order it. Was a time I new it by hart. they don't last. Need the Thermosensor No 1 Part Number. Do you guys use the OEM, or is there a better one out there ? The 4 i have are opening between 196 and 206. so temp is about 195-210 until moving. No. 2 is stock original, and kicks on about the same time as the aftermarket No 1. thanks, C300
  8. Thanks TexasQuest, then i'm guess'in I'll need a bigger one on top too, or there won't be enuff fluid to make full travel. damm, I'm into a full on project now !
  9. 86' ESIR. Have a 3/4" (.750") Clutch slave cylinder. Did the 5/8" come on 87'-89's ? Mine is pitted and i can't find my small hone. Question is, should i get the 3/4" like the original, or should i upgrade to the bigger one ? will be putting on a Fadanza F/Wheel and upgraded clutch/press. plate down the road with the engine i'm building, Thanks, C300
  10. Cool, I called dad and he said the same. I'm ordering one now and sticking this one on the high side. many thanks, C300
  11. check out the pic in my gallery. F3 clear Fram at walmart or autozone. remove cone filter. the one in the pic is discolored from rust in it. works great and see through !
  12. when i got my '87, they replaced this sensor 'bout 20 times under warranty. the two cracked heads also. never had one last more than 10 months on a daily driver. hope it's not the only game in town ! No warranty... thanks C300 Wish i had the money i spent on all the sensors i replaced
  13. Got 4 different ones. napa, carquest. 2 from autozone, lifetime warranty. spec says opens between 184-196f. this opens at 192f and194F. almost same as stock high sensor. car now runs at 3/4 gauge hot before starting fan. before at 1/3 of gauge. never above 1/2. cracked the head when i got it that hot in traffic. the new high temp ones open at 203-toast. The car has NO wiring issues or bad grounds, just a sensor that opens at too high a temp. (in water on stove) called the manufacturers. they no makey. said they make one sensor that fits all applications. and new cars run hotter. same sensor for 55-83 corvettes. same problem tech guy said. Who has the correct temp sensor ? what do you all use ? if i have to, i'll cut the connector off a car at the boneyard and splice it to fit another style. thanks C300
  14. '87 and up widebodys had auto seatbelts. '86 widebodys had the seatbelts in the door. I thought that the widebody was an option(limited edition) in '86 and only widebodys were avalible '87 and on, I could be wrong, but i have never heard of a flat fendered starion after '86. i have no clue why this is all underlined at all !
  15. Well, dialectic grease is so the boot doesn't stick/melt to the ceramic plug. keeps moisture/condensation out too. i used it religiously till i moved to Az. the guy at the speed shop asked where i was from... bakes the boot on in extreem heat. that said, i use it again in Wa. saved lots of packets of it in the toolbox. I got the Taylor street thunder 52030 $28 shipped. going MPI with Ford crank trigger ign. soon. then this whole eng. setup will be a spare again. Thanks for the info, C300
