Wrong choice for my 76 Duster's radiator replacement?

I used a cold case in mine. It is thicker (closer to the fan), so that can be an issue. I think I had one bolt that didn’t line up.

Your shroud will bolt up, but may be about a half inch away from the radiator, so I don’t know how much good it will do that way. If you search on here you will find a lot of info. I think there is even a thread on cold case shrouds. I modified mine to fit better, but it was a lot of work.

I think that cold case is a high quality product with good customer support. They are fairly priced in my opinion. However, they are not exactly the same as the stock radiator, so you need to be aware of the differences.

So, it ended up fitting, but pretty tightly and I had trouble getting the shroud back on. It sounds like quite a few just skip on the shroud, so I'm gonna try it for now. Thanks for providing your experience with it man.
