65 NY Radiator

[Senator Leahy]

Hey guys. I have a 65 new yorker 413 with auto trans. I need to replace my radiator. Pinhole leak and a crack forming. I'd like to go with an aluminum one but some of them seem down right expensive. And most of the ones I see on eBay say they won't fit. I need some help finding a replacement please.

Why don't you just have yours re-cored?

Would the hole and crack be permanently fixed?

 

[The Horvaths]

Where's the hole/crack? The tank or the core? Tank could be repaired, may be worth it, may not last. A good radiator guy can tell. Core would, naturally, be replaced. No troubles there.

 

[Senator Leahy]

Holes in the tank. I keep reading that it will only be a temporary fix. Has anyone found an aftermarket radiator that will work? Or modified one to work?

Lots of guys using the 100% totally incorrect (uncorrect? non-correct?) Champion aluminum radiators to the disgust/horror a/o chagrin of others.

 

[Senator Leahy]

So you're saying the champion aluminum radiators might work with a little modifying commando?

 

[Senator Leahy]

Has anyone had any experience with the champion radiator #CC2375?

The radiator works beautifly.
It was the mounting brackets and the tabs for mounting the radiator shroud that I had to rework.
No. That's not completely true, I should say fabricate NEW mounts and tabs.

 

[Senator Leahy]

From what I've found the champion #cc2375 measurements are the closest to what I have in the car. I think I'm going with it

 

[commando1]

Cc332 might be closer to what you want but call them to see why they dont list 1965 as an application. May be minor.

That's a 26" radiator. My 65 has a 22" radiator. 25.5" or something with the brakets

On my 66 which came with a factory stock 22, a 26 dropped right in with no mods.

Thanks for that link. I never knew of that mfr. Nice looking pcs.

Ordered it last night! Looks like I'm gonna have to drill a couple holes to mount it but no big deal. I need to get her put back together! Still have to get a couple broken valve cover studs out to replace the covers. I will start a thread when I get everything back together.
