If it were mine I would get the biggest radiator that would fit. With an A/C car you probably don't have that many choices anyway (You may want to hook up the A/C at some point.) I would think a T-top A/C equipped car would be somewhat rare. An undersized radiator will not cool the motor adequetly. The cost difference between the choices will be negligable. |

Check out Modine and Valeo, the latter used to be called Blackstone, the company that supplied Chrysler as O.E. They are stillavailable new but check out Ebay. I found a brand new one in the box for $37, with shipping it was $53. This was for a V8 rad for that application. Had a buddy that worked in a JY a few years back and they could not keep a Diplomat, Volare, LE Baron, etc. radiator in the house, they were such a close match (though not identical) that most that had Dodge trucks were buying 'em up. Hmmm... You might try that swap in reverse, too. Know anyone with a 72-90 or so (yes I know that this series of a truck went til 93 but the last few years the some of the truck radiators actually got a little bigger even though it was the same chassis) who has a rad laying around that you could at least measure up to see???? |

I got one for my Volare from a company called Ace Radator... they were very ez to work with. anyway the Radator I bought was in a stratch and dent sale, so I got it for very cheap less than $200 after shipping... But the funny thing about it, I didnt see one thing wrong with the radator was in awesome shape. Oh and it was the A/C radator... I figure iuts better to have more cooling, than less...

Yeah, I hope that your new rad was less than $150, as I bought a Modine about 2 years ago for that exact app. and it was like $130 at a local rad shop, cash and carry, and he nad it later that same day! |
