67 Dearborn 390 GT Fastback Carb and Radiator Questions
Rossco:
Afternoon
Could some tell me the correct pump diaphragm to get for the Holley carburetor 4v on a 390 GT 1967 fastback I have been on the Holley web site and just need some advise on which one to purchase.
Also coming back from a show she blew her original radiator out 10 minutes from home just wondered if I can, or you know where to purchase a FOMOCO replacement please
The guy that I purchased her from said she ran a little on the warm side is this normal?
Rossco:
Sorry I think this post should be in the Dearborn 64 and up
Apologies

Whatever you do don't throw that old one out, the best recourse might be rebuild. I'm interested myself in hearing the options.

+1 . The 67 390 replacement radiator from most vendors is going to be typically a 68-70 style size. 67 was a one year only narrower width. You can recore and also get to use the same original fan shroud . Original 67 BB fan shrouds = big $$$$or repro much less $. You can upgrade to a 68-70 style which looks virtually identical except slightly wider width (given the same plant) but will have to get a 68-70 fan shroud . Original 68-70 fan shroud big $$$ or repro much less $ . All other things etc. fit the same regardless of rad used. The larger radiator cools much better all things being equal and unless the entire car is restored concours for shows the larger rad is the way to go for a car that is driven IMO. Especially a 390 that if rebuilt more then likely has a tendency to run hot. FYI a good replacement 68-70 radiator is going to be much less then recore of a original 68-70 BB radiator. Original 68-70 rads needing to be recored still bring big money relatively speaking. 67 BB cores are a little less. Just a few options from someone who has been there and done that. Others may have different ideas.

Fits better in the 67-8 section since its not Dearborn specific nor is it related to production practices
Just in case you wonder why its being moved ;)
