radiator

[hillsglass]

I have a std 22" radiator, 165 thermostat. The car is starting to run hot in a hot weather. Should I go to a 3 or 4 core radiatior or buy a std one. And if I need a new one, any suggestions. Car is non air, a/t 383

Yours may just be dirty, find a good shop and see what roding it out or a re-core would cost compared to a new one. Are you trying to stay original looking?

Yes and no I need something that works all the time

They can make 3 row and a 3 row max cooling.

I know I could have bought one of their's for what it cost me to have mine recored.

You try a 180 thermostat? Sometimes a 160 won't close enough to slow the water down to cool off.

Has anyone tried the Champion aluminum with dual electric fan set up? I think Moparstuart is a dealer, so is Challengergary. I am going to use this radiator with electric fan set up.

i have a 3 row champion in my superbird , I have the standard water pump fan and then i have two huge pushers (electric ) in front of the Radiator car stay at 170 degrees all day long now /. It used to get hot due to that nose cone . The pushers are out of a 97 cady catera they fit together have there own shroud and a fat soft seal to push right up on the radiator you can get them in the u pull it yards for under 50 bucks for both of them . GREAT FANS AND PUSH A TON OF AIR
