Last one to post in this thread wins!
So the new rad is in finally.
The guy took the old rad out and then found out it was the wrong rad. The bottom inlet was on the wrong side.
Had to wait till 9:30 to get in touch with Karbelt Speed and Custom.
When I told him the inlet was on the left side he said oh that is for the big block but had one in stock.
So called my wife to pick me up and going pick up the new one.
The mounting brackets were in the wrong spot so finally got that fixed.
Then they guy had to cut and flare the cooler lines. The first one was a snap the second one was a ***** and took 6 times to do it.
The shroud I had wouldn't fit but it's a bigger rad so shouldn't need.
I'll keep the old rad as I will sell it being a round top and they are getting rare.
And of course sell the shroud.
So I've been in touch with a guy in our group that works in the cleanup at the local dealership and see if I can pay him to clean up the engine compartment as I can't right now.
The good news is it's back on the road again.
