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.

Hoses Done

Got the hose clamps today and finished off the hose change job. The upper radiator hose looks pretty new so I opted not to change it out at this time. I have plenty of spare hose for the two side hoses, extra clamps, a fresh lower, good upper with fresh spare, and I also got a new fanbelt to pop on, though I didn't do that tonight. Once I do I'll order a spare for the trunk. This girl is thirsty! She took over 3 gallons of anti-freeze.
