radiator air dam?

kasius · 03-19-2009

I have been looking for a part tonight for a while now, I have googled many different names to witch I think it might be called. I am hoping somebody will know.

It would fill in the area where the foam was between the radiator and the frame not allowing the fan pull air down and forcing more air through the condenser. I get a few mustang mags and seen many different ways they have done it but they dont list it in the mods section. I dont know if they are kinda home made or if there is a part out there some where for that. Sorry for the lengthy question.

You are right!!!
Felt kinda stupid for askin, glad I did

And if I may ask for another opinion.
I bought the cheapest single row radiator I could afford. I got Saly goin, passed smog today she had been sittin for a long time due to emission issues. Its great to hear that growling humm again. Do you guys think the single row will over heat this summer hear in Vegas? My old rad. was cloged and FILTHY, overheated any time the air was on if you werent on the freeway. My son and I drove around for hours today cold air blasting, petal smashed and it barely heated up. Runnin a 180 Deg thermostat. That to cold? Cant believe it passed smog.

if it didn't heat up after that you should be ok....

the 180* t-stat is just fine...

do you have a stock fan ?

if so you may consider an electric fan they make all the difference in the world.....

I have a flex fan. Had an electric seemed like it drew to many amp. At night with the lights on the amp gauge would drop and the light would dim at the stop lights. Flex fan takes a noticeable amount of power and wears the belt out faster but man, that thing moves the air

.
Installed new ground and possitive batt leads, need to build a alt wire. Drove to Lake Mead last night, pretty fun little road.

Kinda funny, when it died AFTER the smog found out the ground to the coil was missing the pin in the connector!

The wire was simply wraped around the coil neg. About 4 years ago I paid a cert. mechanic

to change out the vac lines, the mounts, and the ignition mod. I'm still fixin his half assed work

He has since moved to Utah . I think I should be caught up with him by now but what a pain in my ass.

Sorry for venting.
