Yessir, Mr. Green, sir. :BangHead: Now only two weeks of driving left - unless it snows before then - so I have plenty of time until car back on road sometime in March. I for one will not hack up my rad support (to install anything wider than 22 inches). Totally unnecessary. Nonetheless I...

Well I found a third source (in Canada) - the Wrench Monkey - for the Spectra unit and, like Avatar, only $218. I even went thru ordering process but, alas, 3 days later, I get notified that this unit is discontinued. (sigh). So back to other options. Of course not a panic as this is beginning...

Still waiting for response from Amazon and <www.partsavatar.ca> regarding availability of Spectra Premium no. CU527 radiator.

Common sense says you cannot install a 26" rad unit in a 22" opening - unless your name is Red Green. :eek:

The frame opening is only good to a 22" er.

All good info. Fans are only effective at low vehicle speeds - est. under 40 mph. It is those hot days and climbing uphill and even over 60 mph that get the gauge moving up. Yes, core may well be partially restricted, but our only rad shop very expensive - est $450. to $500. for a 19 inch re...

I have the oem 19-inch core unit and it cannot handle ambient temps over 95 f. I could have the core tested and maybe replaced but am also considering upping to a 22-inch core unit. Of course the inlet and outlet pipes need to be in same location for both cores. Has anyone done this swap and...

Back home July 15 after another 17 days in hospital. This time they removed about 48 ounces of 'liquid' from chest and 'shocked me'. sigh

Hey! I am needing new weather stripping for all 4 doors. Which is the best place to buy from? I'm from Canada btw.

I have been in hospital since May 7th. It is now the 24th.

Take care of any seepage issues then prime and paint (cast grey). There are also good, durable paints to protect the cover as well and some very close to the (likely) anodized gold color. Midland booster same color (if not black).

I agree with the 'memory conversion' but, value in kms has to be multiplied by 0.6 (not 6.0). But, to be perfect, the value must be 0.62137199. :realcrazy:. (lol). It's the same as speaking two languages - as we are well aware in this country. Also the same when dealing with weather stats...

I'm sure I 'hi-jacked' a newer thread about dash decals but stumbled upon this one. GUESS WHAT! I finally found a link to what I seek. :canada: Place in Harrowsmith, ON. has decals and more. Go to <www.premiumdashdecals.com>. Needle will still move as it always did and ODO will still...

I 'bumped into' this thread since I am considering upgrading my 19-incher to a 22. Mine only gets too warm when climbing in 90+ degree weather and still OEM. Not sure what your issue could be with replacement rad.

Nice looking setup - close to post '73 OEM but very pricey. Would be great replacement for the detached (unused) shoulder belt that lays above door side glass. What do we do after this? Air bags? :eek:
