Subject: More Fan Clearance
Hi All,
Thanks for all the advice. I'm glad I posted before I put the wrenches
to
the car. I realize now if I tried to remove the fan with the radiator in
the
car I would never be able to get it out with out damaging something. When
I
put the clutch and fan in the car the radiator was out of the car.
Being that I was building this car as a daily driver I've tried to
update
some things. Before I rebuilt the top end of my engine I had alot of
tempeture control problems, the car didn't do good in traffic, not a good
thing here in Los Angeles. I bought an aftermarket heavy duty thermally
activated fan clutch. I thought they were pretty much universal. I haven't
had any tempeture since then. But I think what truely solved the problem
was
changing the old timing chain that had an extreme amount of slack. It's
amazing what proper timing and exhaust valves that actually seal, can do
for
engine performance.
I may just put on the old fan clutch if I can't find a replacement. I
think
it probably works fine. I'll just have another $80 paperweight to put with
my
other expensive paperweights. One day it's need will arise.
Thanks again,
Sean Duggan

Warren said:
<The OE fan clutch was a thermal type (and torque limiting types will
absolutely not work)>.
Please explain further what you mean by the above statement. I purchased
a non-thermal type at a 300 Club meet a couple years back and now have it
installed in my 300G. I have not driven the car under high heat
conditions since it was installed so it hasn't really been given a
thorough test, but no overheating has occurred yet.
What would the problem be with a "torque limiting" type vs. thermal?

Subject: Car does not want to start
Hello friends:
First of all, Happy Holidays. Also, to Wayne Graefen, I wish you
speedy recovery and hope that you have lots of energy and keep up your
enthusiasm.
Now, I need help: I have a 300J which I just purchased. The car
was delivered and it started right up. I drove it three times since, and
the third time it took a while to start and I pumped the pedal a few
times.
It was about 55 degrees out there.
I tried to start it two days ago, and it was impossible. I
changed
the spark plugs (they were black), but it did not do anything. My friend
came by and he cleaned the points and pulled the gas tubes going from the
fuel filter to the carbs and he did a little cleaning. He said the fuel
pump
worked well and the filter was clean and unclogged. We poured fuel in
both
carbs, and after a few attempts a lots of gas, the car started. We
sprayed
cleaned the carbs. That day I started it a couple of times. The
battery
is brand new.
Today.... surprise! It does not want to start! Pump the gas,
crank
it, pull the choke, try all those things, and nothing.
What could be the problem? I am a bit confused. Help, help,
help.
Any hints or ideas you folks could give me I would really appreciate
them
(you can tell I my knowledge about mechanics needs improvement). I am
open
to any advise I can get.
Thank you all in advance!!
Dee
