Can I post a video on this forum? Would love to show you all how my license plate gets sucked in and stays stuck to my grill when the fan is on. Amazing!

It doesn't matter if its 1 day old...its a mechanical pump and for a variety of reasons I'd rather have an electric remote (or on-board) system. Bleeding all the air out and keeping it out is the number one reason I prefer the electric unit. Secondly, at the end of a long session on track, I keep it on (flowing) for 5 minutes or so. I also do NOT run a thermostat either.

The pump is only 2-3 years old.

Lots of replies on this thread... thanks to all!

I need time to read through all the responses. I just need to figure out the best place to start. Bob's recommendations are a good place to start I think!

QUOTE(Mike Bellis @ Jul 27 2016, 11:18 PM) *

Tony, I see from your pics you have the big block Mopar pump is the conversion housing. When was the last time you replaced the pump? A Mopar 440 RV pump might give you better flow.





Tony, is your pump simply on/off or do you vary the speed via a PWM controller ?

I still have my mechanical pump installed so I guess that would be on/off? I think I finally have it sorted out although as of late it's been in the 100's here and I really don't even want to be outside when it's that hot, let alone driving in a topless car with no AC! Last time I drove it, the air temp was in the mid-80's and full sun. The engine temp never got beyond 200 even after a 10 mile drive.

What I really want to know is what David's results are after installing the Jegs w/p in his Renegade remote w/p housing. What say you David?!

I have the complete Renagade/ Ron Davis system. I have just switched to the Jegs BB Mopar electric water pump. So far seems to work well. I noticed from the drawings my system is plumbed different. Could this be an issue I need to address.
Thanks

After owning five different V8 914s the Ron Davis radiator is the one that is trouble free.

I found that for me the system has to be well bled. I installed a bleeder on the top bung of my capless radiator and bled it both cold and hot.
I found unless I did this, air bubbles in the system would often prevent the sensor from getting an accurate read and my rans wouldn't come on at 190. Sometimes they would come on a little upwards of 220 but every now and then my fans wouldn't come on at all.
Using a bleed valve and completely purging the system of air (takes many many bleeds to really get it all out), has cured the problem.

Hey all,

I had a chance to draw up what I think will work on my car with a minimum of adding and removing hoses/connections etc... I did not include the addition of an electric water pump (yet)... I want to see what adding a header tank does to alleviate the run hot issue. Does it look like a viable plan?




Update... I followed the schematic as close as possible. Not shown are the details as in hose sizes and any treacherous passes...
