Let's face it. These fuel tanks and now 50 years old and most are not squeaky clean inside. There is a fuel tank screen that will catch most particles if the screen is in good shape. But I have found that it will not catch the very fine rust particulates that are so common in these old cars.

Most of the older 450 engine fan clutches are still original on most of the older unrestored V8 models from 1970 to 1980. If you are having problems with your 450 V8 running hot check the friction in your clutch. They are often worn out as they seem to never get changed.

380 engines tend to run hot. As long as it is not too hot it won't hurt the engine but that extra heat is not kind to rubber and plastic parts.
We modify this wrench right here in our shop. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video work. Watch the following for a full explanation.
