| Post subject: | Need a new radiator. |
Hey all, Looks like I need a new radiator. I've searched old posts, but I can't find a good source for a three-row replacement in western Canada. Anyone know of somewhere I can get such an item? I'd like to get a 22" to replace the 19" stocker. I make a couple of summertime trips up the Fraser Canyon every summer (30*C +) and noticed the leak when I got back from the first of this year's trips. Just put in a new heater core since I noticed rusty water on the passenger side floormats (about an ounce or so). Then I went to top up the coolant and to my shock, it drank 3 litres before it was full! Oy vey! Any help? Thanks in advance, Nat |

Yeah....... Sorry... Brain fart. It's a 1970 Dart, 4-door, 225, A-904, Highway gears (for now), 1BBL Carter, brown vinyl front and rear benches, missing the dome light lens..... Planning on upgrading to super six with a bigger cam and faster rear, so I want to maximize cooling now since it needs replacement anyways, rather than buy another radiator next spring. Thanks for the quick response, Nat |

Oh, well, if it's missing the dome light lens, that'll require a special radiator    Seriously: You can get a Proliance (used to be Modine) #527 for $186 from www.rockauto.com. That's a 2-row 22" A-body radiator. The top outlet is offset to the right, so you'd need a Dayco #70744 or NAPA #7670 upper hose to go with it. If that's not going to be enough cooling for you, go and talk to this guy for a custom aluminum radiator. |

Thanks SSD, for the speedy responses. One further question, though; What's the advantage of an aluminium radiator versus..... well..... a non aluminium radiator? Thanks, Nat |
