Hey guys,
Now with the warmer weather i see my temperatures often exceed 200* when standing still for some time. (185* termostat)
I know my radiator is not the original one from the car, it is a 2785-942, 26", which supposed to be from a '67 C-body.
From what i found is that mine should have a 2949-054. (also 26")
The radiator currently installed is a single row with a core thickness of around 1-9/16", what type of core does a 2949-054 radiator have?
I read someone "guessing" it would be a 3-row core and then it should be quite thicker as well compared to the 1-9/16" i have now.
I want to see if i can find the right replacement core for this, probably aftermarket as i am not willing to pay $1400 for a factory correct radiator.
Just looking for some improved capacity.
It's for a '69 Coronet R/T with 440, auto, non ac, 4.10 ratio rear axle with sure grip.
I found this on a "local" parts store here in Europe, to me this one would be a good upgrade, right? (3-row, 2" thick)

Not sure what you guys have on experience in regards to single row and 3-row types radiators.
Edit: What would the difference be between factory ac and no ac?
Any info or suggestions would be welcome.
