Hey gang..
Well, I'm getting the Daytona out and about now. Something I've noticed is the high exhaust / engine compartment temperatures. I know running around in 100 degree Houston weather isn't helping much, but never had this with my '69 Charger 500. The left side has visual evidence in the white tube loops that hold the windshield washer tubing on the passenger side have melted. I'm thinking maybe it's a lean condition? I know Daytonas and Superbirds run characteristically hotter than other cars because of their restricted air flow into the radiator area. The carb that's on it now is a Edelbrock Competition series with electric choke and the ignition is Mopar Performance electronic. The engine is a 440 with 9.7 compression and is followed-up with a 727B.

Cheers,
Troy

Thanks..
Troy
