Im trying to figure out what the cooling difference is between a small and big block 22" 2 core radiator. If the cores are the same rows and same size then why is one for a BB and the other a SB? Has to be the tube size and flow capacity?

Sounds like Glen Ray is not an option any longer. I forgot to mention that aftermarket radiators, even the reproduction ones, are not an option for me. Does anyone know if the early 22" radiators for big blocks had bigger tubes than those for a small block? Was that what determined a big block...

Any recommendations for shops that will recore a 62' radiator? Or any place that sells parts to recore? I just picked up a radiator out of a 62' Chrysler BB and its only a two row unit (surprised the heck out of me). I don't even want to think of using it unless its a 3 core but my local shop is...

Does make me wonder… I think I had a few episodes of the tank overflowing before I replaced the pump but not to this extent….

First two are from my current 62 Fury. Third pic is from a 62 Savoy I had years ago.

I know there’s a spring in my lower hose as I replaced both hoses last year too.

The radiator is the one that was in the car when I got it, no change. I took it out when I had to pull the front apart to check the timing chain. Figured while it was apart I’d replace the pump and all. The price difference between high flow and stock was so low I went with the high flow. I had...

Should have mentioned too that I am trying NOT to make any modifications from original on this car ( which is really tough to do). Even so, a catch can would catch the puke but not solve the over heating? Pulling the plugs to flush the block is a pretty radical step that I’d like to avoid is...

Radiator was flushed last year. One other thing I forgot to mention is that my heater lines are plugged off at the firewall (heater valve was leaking).

No overflow tank as there weren’t any used in 62’,

Agreed. Grill is in great shape and the radiator has minimal bug damage so I think it’s getting the proper airflow. No radiator shroud but they weren’t on many cars in 62.. lower hose has a spring in it.

My 62’ Fury, pretty stock 361/4bbl, original style fan and a non original (but correct) 22” 3 core radiator with a 13psi cap. Last year i installed a new high flow water pump and a 160-5 t stat. The T stat is a fail open type. Most of my local cruising around I’ve been trouble free. On warmer...

Licensed reproductions run around $750…

Sorry, I forget what I wound up with in there. I did get it to stop but not sure what size I used…

One of the attempts, I had found the amp gage isolator broken and I made a piece out of rubber and tried it but still had the short. This time I bought and installed a new Amp gage with a perfect isolator, thinking this was the problem. I was hoping someone could tell me how to bench test the...
