radiator. what should i shop for?
I bought one of them Crappy Champion radiators that was twisted bad and only 3 bolt holes lined up and the factory shroud didn't even come close to fitting. It was a 22" unit. I've heard from all the guys that bought the 26" units they were ok.
BTW: I did post the problem I had with it here and on Moparts.
After I lost $30 in shipping the CRAPOLA Champion radiator back I bought a universal from Don at FBO. I had to have brackets welded on it but that was only $15. Works fantastic. My car had a 3 core in it originally and the 2 core (bigger cores) aluminum runs a lot cooler. Never went over 185 in 95 degree traffic this summer. Looks great too. Oh yeah, mines a 24" wide unit and I bet a 26" would fit in the same space too.
The universal radiator I bought looks just like a universal Griffin I put in my father-in-laws Rambler last year.
