Sorry it's radiators again

Hmmm.. the 'not much money' aspect makes it tougher.

Are you having specific issues now? If so, can you describe them?

Are you running the older iron water pump or the later AL water pump? Note that the upper and lower rad hose connections are on opposite sides for those 2 pump types.

I have been considering going to the Griffin AL 22" rad for a 340 in an early A body, but that is priced at $619.... it uses 2 rows with 1.25" wide tubes. This is to replace an AL rad with 3 rows of .75" tubes of unknown brand (perhaps a Champion). The Griffins seem to have solved a good number of cases where the engines just ran hot at 70-75 mph hard cruising speeds.

The other alternative I've looked at is an ECP 2 row 22" AL rad. It uses 2 1" rows of tubes. It costs $219.

Do you have things in place like the hood-to-core support seal?
