    This makes 0 sense to me! Heater hose route

    I think everyone is making it more complicated than it is. Warm water flows through core with no leaks is good. Pump to core, core to radiator. Check for leaks. Good to go. Or if your radiator doesn't have a spot for the heater hose(some don't)then it's pump to core, core to intake manifold...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Radiator isn't leaking as it's running at temp now. Also got rid of some surface rust and repainted those spots.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I snugged up the top radiator brackets with new rubber thingys. I like these because they have the little cones that help hold it in place under the brackets. Then I put another one to help fill I the gap. It is pretty solid. Put some putty over the little hole and I'm waiting an hour for...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Nothing it's cool and rainy season here. 50 and rain all day this week. Maybe I can patch the leak in the radiator this weekend if it don't rain. But, I ain't holding my breath. This is the time I hate not having a garage or carport to work under.

    Bigger tires

    I have a 454 with a 700r4 and 275/60/15 with a 3.73 rear end. It's a good setup. I'm also thinking about going with a little bigger tire when these wear out. A bigger tire will just lower the rpms at cruise speeds. Right now it runs about 2,000 rpms at 65.

    Double Dingo's 1965 3/4 Ton "Crusty Biscuit"

    When we first moved to Illinois I was driving the 84 burb with 6.2 in it. I started it after school and started home it died on the way home and wouldn't start again. My dad came to get me in the F350. We hooked up a tow strap and he pulled me home. Just when we got into the neighborhood we got...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Took the 82 to fill up gas jugs for the generator in case I lose power Monday night or Tuesday. Got 15 gallons worth. Got back home unloaded them and saw coolant dripping. Fck me!! I knew it was leaking even tho he pressure tested it several times and didn't see one. I'm getting sick of this...

    Radiator Brackets

    Mines a 3 core too so I ordered these to see if they'll fit better. The leaking one was a 4 core and wider so thats why they don't fit I'm guessing.

    Radiator Brackets

    Just got mine in yesterday and it doesn't fit quite right for me. I'm gonna have to do something about that at one point but, it's in for now with no shroud. Fits in the bottom rubbers but needs to be a little taller I think. The top rubber pieces don't fit just right either. I used some wire on...

    Small block to big block swap. What do i need to know?

    I had a 305 with a crappy edelbrock in mine. I hate edelbrock so I called national carburetor and told him I was planning on adding a cam, intake and hedders and what kinda quadrajet would he put on it. He told me a stage 2 would work fine. So I got it fir about 300 bucks. I put it on with an...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Radiator guy called me yesterday and said he couldn't find a leak in it. Hmm I swear it was leaking on the truck. Maybe not from Radiator. Oh well 20 bucks for pressure test. So now just need to put it in and see what happens.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I dropped off the other radiator my neighbor gave me because it's in better shape than the other one. One last try at it before I buy a new aluminum one. I'm gonna leave the fan shroud off this time to see if that makes a difference. Because I don't remember it leaking until I rigged it to fit...
