'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist
My China-in-a-box "KKS" 1970-style radiator arrived today:
Test fitting. It's getting painted black, no matter what. Sticks out like a sore thumb now.
I was pleased - not to mention a bit surprised - to see that it lines up more or less perfectly with the factory bolt holes.
It's about an inch and a quarter lower than the factory radiator, which - I believe - is to facilitate the use of this radiator in M-bodies - Fifth Avenues, late Furys, and Dippies. The angled cutout at the bottom right would certainly seem to suggest so, anyway. Radiator shroud mounts sure look like they're made to accommodate an M-body radiator shroud.
Chinese cap on my Chinese radiator. Bah! Go play on a Kawei W1 and leave my Satellite alone.
