your probably right.
I took the radiator out today. I inspected it- the radiator caps are an inch bigger than the radiator itself. first time ive seen this type of set up. anyways, both side caps are bubbafied, and it looks like the top has been wielded at some point. the top inlet/outlet pipe is cracked pretty bad it broke even more when i was twisting the hose off.
looking at the rust inside the radiator, a good restore may or may not do any good but im not sure.
I ordered an aluminum one due to arrive early this week and am going to keep the old one until i can find a good radiator shop to restore it.
Now flushing the system, can it be done with the radiator out? i didnt want to try it with the old one in due to how bad it was leaking. I picked up a new thermostat 195 (figured since im in their i might as well, the old one works still and its also 195)
so any ideas on flushing the system? or just wait until i get the other radiator in?
thanks
