Well the new rad is in. It's still two row but the core is much thicker, and there are way more tubes. It looks much more efficient

Pic#1: The old rad. You can see how rotten the upper right side is and how much the fins have disappeared. This is where it was leaking. Note, too, how relatively sparse the tubes are compared to:

Pic #2: The new rad. Shiny, black, and many more tubes

Pic #3: The core is much thicker as well

Not a bad rad,
I need to get my rad recored i will take a few pics of it and its missing fins,
But mine is a 28inch wide 4 core custom rad made to fit my cougar and i have had it for over 5 years so recoring if for 150 bucks is no big deal to me i got my moneys worth out if it.

Yeah, wait'll you get to replace the water pump. It's a ball... :yuck:

I had the water pump and starter go out within a month of each other last winter. I sure hope nothing like that happens this winter. I just need that car to make it through to the spring and then I'll probably junk it (it's rustin out like crazy anyway...there's a couple spots in the trunk where the floor is rusted through)



The car is on its third pump.  Been there done that, got the t-shirt.
I complain but, all and all this car has been very reliable for all the abuse it gets (gravel roads, the pot hole filled streets of manitoba, ideling for days at -40*)


Sorry for the thread hijack.
