Radiator Picked Up & Put In

Well, I think I'm kinda impressed with Burbank Radiator, only cost be $150 to have them rod out the tubes, re-solder the tanks and put a new overflow tube on it. They sprayed a little fresh paint on it and pointed out how the original radiators have the year stamped on the tank. Hadn't noticed that before! I got a new 7lb cap from CPR and I'll be leaving the recovery bottle off.

Bolting the unit back in place was easy. I used a new piece of heater hose to connect the bottom of the radiator to the heater return. Hoses and fan shroud all in back in place. Filled with 3-1/2 gallons of Prestone and voila! No leaks. Good as new and cheap too. Doesn't get any better than that.
