65 Barracuda daily driver
The radiator started leaking again, so I ordered a brand new one from Champion. Despite being supposedly the right one for a '65 Slant 6 Barracuda, it did not fit at all. It's about an inch too wide and simply doesn't fit at all. After a lot of cursing, I put the old one back in and went on a 300 mile road trip the next day for our annual Campsgiving. Did not overheat at all, but I think I might need a new rear end... The gear oil has been seeping out of a bad seal and may have been dry for a while. Very noisy... Time to pick up another 7 1/4" for 50 bucks somewhere... I know how superior a 8 3/4" or even a 8 1/4" is, but I don't race and I just don't want to spend any money on that.
