Are aluminum radiators better for cooling than original radiators ? Does a clutch fan help for cooling?
Thanks. So would a 22” radiator cool better than a 19” radiator?IMHO.
NO AND NO
AL rad should be designed to transfer enough heat to keep the engine in it's normal operating range just like a copper/ brass is designed to do.
Clutch fan only helps with economy.
Technically yes. Assuming it is otherwise the same the wider has more cooling surface area.Thanks. So would a 22” radiator cool better than a 19” radiator
It’s runs fine on the highway. It runs about 210-220 in traffic just thought it might run a little cooler by going to a 22” and maybe put a shroud on it.Technically yes. Assuming it is otherwise the same the wider has more cooling surface area.
1973, Dart Swinger,318,Auto,63,000 original miles. No air that’s why it’s a 19” radiator I think. I had it recoredDetails.....
Engine, year, car, etc.
