    1973 Town & Country radiator needed

    Well I'm going to respectfully disagree despite being a very satisfied US Radiator dealer for 20 years. Here's why: $1006 !!!!! for a copper/brass radiator! If originality is #1 priority, It's still a very close call because that US radiator doesn't have the mopar symbol or...

    1973 Town & Country radiator needed

    Nice original looking engine compartment! Looks to me like they put the top hose over to the RH side to avoid the hose having to deal with the AC compressor. Not great for cooling but this was 50 years ago! the shroud looks symmetrical and therefore should fit on a radiator with the LH...

    1973 Town & Country radiator needed

    I don't fully follow all the notes and drawings but I clearly see the core dimensions of 26"! That's why the term 'you can always learn something new' is a good one! I have never seen any AC car beyond 1965 where both the inlet and the outlet are on the same side. So unless there is an...

    1973 Town & Country radiator needed

    damn! Are you sure it's a 26" and not a 22" wide core? AC or non AC?

    1973 Town & Country radiator needed

    By 1973, if it is a 26" radiator and both are on the same side, I suspect that radiator is NOT original. I have not seen a same side 26" radiator in a mopar in that year. An easy solution is if the bottom hose is on the correct side as the C-body Cold Case unit, he could easily just...

    Bulging Alu Radiator Tank!!!

    This is possible. If either failed and your motor had an issue with overheating, the pressure could have built past 16lbs. However, I think you would have been able to see or feel a situation like that?

    Bulging Alu Radiator Tank!!!

    13lb vs 16lb should not make a difference. Champion builds their tanks to handle at least 16lb. However, because the tanks are fabricated out of a flat piece of stock, there is the ability for it to bulge a bit. If you notice the tanks like Cold Case and Griffin, they are stamped. In...

    50 year-old stock cooling system

    That's always 'cool' to see! :thumbsup: There's 3 chains of thought on this subject. 1. Those that feel the need for the latest technology regardless of the situation. 2. Those that feel the need to avoid technology regardless of the situation. 3. Those that analyze the situation and...

    '66 Newport Radiator

    Cold Case makes a direct fit 26" C body unit that is different than all the 26" aluminum units you see. In addition to bolting to the support properly, you can bolt your original C-body shroud to our radiator. You can't do that with the others. It's also an oversized core so it can handle...

    HELP! In need of a radiator for a '68 Chrysler

    The cooler inside the tank takes up less than about a cup of fluid. It's a hollow tube with thin walls that carry the trans fluid. There is literally no measurable cooling difference on a radiator with or without a cooler except of course if the cooler had 250 degree trans fluid running...

    HELP! In need of a radiator for a '68 Chrysler

    While on that particular model we don't have a MT version because of how rare a C-body MT is, we did what the OEM rad mfg's did many times back then. We made aluminum threaded plugs that you screw in the trans cooler holes. It makes the radiator look very clean and quite original looking as...

    HELP! In need of a radiator for a '68 Chrysler

    Not aware of any 28" rads in Mopar until like 1971? They should all be 22" or 26" unless there was a super rare 28" version

    HELP! In need of a radiator for a '68 Chrysler

    A 50 year old original C body radiator is worth something if another 67 C body owner has an original car, wants to keep it all original and happens to need one. No offense to C body owners but the market is somewhat limited. Unless it was for a special limited production car like a BB manual...
