I need to replace my old radiator on my 73 dart /6, was considering an aluminum radiator cheapy from Summit. I know the cheapy has no trans cooler or mounting brackets. didn't really see any mount kits, I guess people would weld an aluminum angle on the side and bolt the radiator to the support. I believe it needs to be tig welded, something I don't have. So does anyone have any suggestion, or should I get an oem made in china replacement?

Also on the radiator which is the inlet lower passenger side or upper driver side. thanks in advance... Jerry

I got a stock Modine with all the fittings for my 74 out of Oregon from our local Auto Parts store in here in Black Diamond.

Go to a junk yard and get a rad out of a BMW. Fits the stock rad support like it was made to go there. Just need to secure it at the top.LIGHT weight aluminum core with plastic tanks.

I know nothing about BMW's other than they are all over the junkyards here. I would say it was a 7 series? With a 6??? I know the ones with 4 cyl. use smaller rads,that fit in early A's quite well.Look for one with a 6 in it and you should be set(for 67+ a body)
