Ok! Then the radiator is OK!
But I just can't figure out how to use these little clips because the angels
between the metal on the radiator and the fan shroud are wrong, as
far as i can see?

The clips slide onto a small pan like lip that is at the bottom of the
radiator. It sticks out into the engine side a small amount. Then
the shroud slides down into the pocket of the clip. The clip is
sorta like a N . The left side slides onto the radiator and then

John,
We started our trip out in San
Diego, and went north. Did all you said, plus Big Sur. We loved
the climate and views. It was a long drive from the Gulf
Coast of Texas, but worth the trip. The only negative
was the cost of gas and the

hi, another question on the TH-400 kick down mechanism,
so the gas pedal controls the switch, but where on the trans does it hook up??
i looked at my trans and cannot find any kind of plug- or electrical connection. the oil pan says "hydromatic GMC" does this mean it came from a truck ?
there is
There should be an electrical connection on the
left or driver's side of the trans.

First Question -
I just started going through my "basket case" 396
that I got with my 66SS. When I was dropping off the block at the machine shop,
I noticed at the bottom of each cylinder, there was a stamped 9, 10, or 11. I

Third Question
Compression ratio - what is the math behind it? If I had 150psi in a
cylinder, would that mean 150 (compression) / 14.7 (ambient pressure) =
10.2 meaning a compression ratio of
10.2:1?

Am replacing the stock unit with a quick-ratio from Flaming River, and am
having trouble separating the original box from the rest of the linkage. My
guess is that it's press-fit together and I'll have to press it apart,
using a c-clamp or something similar. Not planning to use a ford 3-lb

If you mean separating the box from the Pittman arm, you might need a whole
lot more than a C-Clamp, and even your measly 3 lb hammer is likely to be of
no use. I did this years ago and chipped out chunks of driveway trying to
pound it off with a 5 lb mini sledge (and using the driveway as

On my rad, that left side pan is bent up. I guess you do have a

Autozone or Pep Boys and probably Advance O'reillys have loan a

deposit. Get the deposit back when you return the tool. Thats the
only way to fly using the correct puller it will be off in minutes.

I'm planning a trip this summer and a friend of mine is cautioning
me that my car may have trouble getting over passes with an

The car has a 350 V-8 with a TH350 automatic. Have any of you ever

He's probably referring to the thinner air meaning a leaner fuel mixture.
Depending on your local altitude, the difference can be significant. Years
