Picture of Closed Cooling System

A while ago, I asked a lot of questions about closed cooling systems and got some very useful information from you guys. Attached is a pic of the finished product. Its a three row radiator. I had to reverse the brackets to make it work. It was advertised as fitting 1965 - 1978. Of course any universal fit unit means more work in the long run to make it work. I think it was worth the effort. Steve

The fan is closer at the bottom than at the top by about 1/2 inch because I did not cant the radiator as original. I have put a little over 400 miles on it since the upgrade and have had no problems. This unit came with tranny ports but I am running the original 3 spd od. so I have the plugged the bottom cavity. Steve

Nice clean looking installation and engine bay.

I noticed that you put the mileage and date on your oil filter. I thought that I was the only person that did that. Makes it easy to remember when it has to be changed-doesnt it?
