    U.S. Radiator 26" for 22" core support

    Better cooling (?) Chop out 2" from the opening. Sorry, there wasn't any thought of originality back then. Functionality was only criteria! That's what we did!

    At least 3 holes for a 26" rad. are already there on a 22" core support. "Been there,done that" back in the 70's on my '68.

    Pray tell, what your eyes(or mine) see as adequate water flow might not be.Also a 'new' part may not be any good, I don't necessarily trust anything new anymore!

    Block Flush, Need Advice

    Torque control drive?

    I just had to ‘google’ the difference; I’d try that clutch. Engine speed below 2500 it’s full on, then above that rpm it kinda slips along at 2500 but no more. Might take a little longer to warm up engine? Always knew they were put on some cars, but never saw/had one. Yours is free why not?

    Need help keeping my '66 cool

    Dumb question...Which one in the low side port?

    IF you fill from the hi-side port with a can, it can explode! Make sure what you’re doing beforehand....

    converting to 134- how much pressure?
