Re: Getting hot issue

Update on new radiator. I went with a alum. 2 row from Cold Case. It solved problem of getting hot over 55mph. Old radiator was pretty rusted inside. Cold Case direct fit was just that- direct fit. The weld on top, by drivers side bracket wad/is a little thick. 5 min. Of grinding the top bracket was all that was needed. Fitment wasn't as easy when i put one in my 66 Gto, but very very easy and quick with 68 pickup. I'll put 180 degree thermo. Back in now. Used Prestone antifreeze listed for all radiator materials. It is green in color. I would highly recommend this radiator even though it's a little pricey at around $ 375.00.
