Re: 1965 Ford Mustang

I really miss driving my car... so after work I had to try to fit the new big azz radiator.

I believe this to be one of the main problems with the car. The vintage air condenser is too far away from the radiator creating turbulence and lack of suction through the grille, hence, traffic overheating...

The old radiator mounts to the tab sticking out leaving +/- 1" of separation between the radiator and condenser.

2nd pic shows the gap as well.

3rd pic is how huge the V/A condenser is. Did V/A forget how tiny the 65-65 radiators were? this thing is LARGER surface area wise than the radiator. The factory A/C condenser mounted on a bracket and fit inside the opening so it was snug up against the radiator. This one is not because it's bigger than the opening...
