Guess I should have taken it over! I was so fed up with looking at the thing I just set it out by our apartment recycling and it was gone the next morning. Guessing someone came by and picked it up to cash in.

I've had a nice Champion 3-row radiator sitting in my closet for going on 3 years now, and finally made time to put it in. The car had begun to overheat both at high speeds (clogged up radiator) and at low speeds (fan clutch not engaging). Not the most fun swap to do in a dusty parking lot, but...

Thanks for the detailed response, 72. The one in there is a vertical flow, I meant the end tanks are on the top and bottom. I'll probably stick with a 26".

I've got a 1973 Duster that's powered by a 360 from a 75 duster in it. I need to put in a new radiator but want to get the proper size. The one in there looks like the core is about 26" wide and with the end tanks it's 22" tall. But in the engine bay, the last inch on each side is blocked by the...

That's almost exactly what I've seen (except for not knowing the actual numbers). 70s the last 2 days so it's run right where it always does, and the engine survived a downpour on the interstate with the newly-functional ram-air scoop, so things are looking good :thumblef:

Thanks, might try that. Today, with temps in the 70s all day, it ran right on/against the line like it usually does at home, even for 90 minutes of straight cruising at around 62 mph. So that was nice.

fishy, I'm already down in New Mexico. Would a NAPA store be able to shoot a temp gun at it? If so, where would you aim it to get an accurate reading?

I agree with this 100%, but I don't plan to put in an aftermarket gauge in the middle of a long haul. Appreciate the quick advice from everyone, that gives me more peace of mind while driving it the rest of the way. Sounds like if I keep on keeping it reasonably cool towards what I'm used to...

Radiator's full, had it flushed and refilled just before I left.

I'm currently driving cross-country along Route 66 and the car's running hotter than usual. For starters, I don't know what thermostat the PO put in it but I'm guessing a 160* but possibly a 180* (for reasons below). The radiator also has a small crack that I fixed with JB-Weld a while ago, so...
