Correct. I've returned it to Snyder's and also spoke with someone at Brassworks.

Thanks. I don't have the newer rods. I'm returning the radiator. Very disappointed. Looks like I'll be spending $800 on a re-core.

And this is why the hood hinge pin is not seated. The new bracket extends out further than the old. Frustration.

I noticed 2 things. 1. When compared to the old one, the mounting bracket is a bit lower; at least 1/4 inch. This makes the radiator sit higher. I rested both radiators on their respective brackets on two 4x4s. You can see the difference. (I'm not referring to the neck.) It may not look like...

I took a few measurements of the old and new. It's all real close. Let me know if that picture with all of the lines is understandable. I've also attached 2 pictures of the cross member. There is a slight (and I mean very slight) difference in the dimples at the top of the radiator where the...

Correct.

Brassworks via Snyder's. At this point I could probably live with some gaps, but in my case the hood is so high that the latches don't reach to engage. Sorry, I'm not clear on "the rear center hinge support also slides laterally..." You're referring to the support on the cowl? I don't see how...

Which picture angles would be helpful? I'm gonna remove the radiator to compare it with the old. Thanks Leo

I’m really having a hard time with my hood alignment. I just installed a new radiator, and the hood is way off. It’s sitting so high that I can’t even latch it closed. It’s not the front/back rod adjustment, but I did notice that the front hinge pin rod is not fully seated in the little bracket...

Damn. $900 later. Is it flexible copper?

But the overflow tube? My old one is straight.

Took my old radiator to a shop in NJ yesterday. He took a long look at it and told me he wouldn't attempt to rod or boil it out or whatever that process is, given it's age and the shape it's in. He quoted me a price of $800 to re-core it and also showed me some of his finished work. Has...

Re: I’m a complete dunce. Not as dumb as I thought. I was able to reach behind the gas tank and turn the nut while the old bag held the bolt. My recent hip replacement added some fun to the task. Thanks for the replies. Leo

I’m a complete dunce. I needed to remove my hood to get my radiator out. I hadn’t removed the hood in about 10 years and forgot how I did it. So, I go to “the book” and remove the rear bracket (pic), and of course the nuts fall gently the floor of the driver’s compartment. Then I realized that...

Does a vacuum reading have any relationship to head gasket health? Other than a few blips I'm reading at 20. See attached. At nearly full advanced.

I am not.

This is what I've been using for a few years.

I took some infrared measurements yesterday after a short drive and while idling. Coolant - 185 Tank top - 185 Tank bottom - 175 Return pipe - 175 Block - 185 I also noticed foam while idling (attached). It disappeared shortly after shutting down. I'm gonna take the radiator to a shop. Are...

I don't run with a stat.

Thanks. I do remember seeing that on some members cars.
