New radiator! Wasn't fun...
New radiator! Wasn't fun...
So I got a new aluminum radiator made up for me. Don't know who all saw the other post, but the radiator that has been in it was out of a chevy van, but it fit for the most part, so I said just build a copy of the chevy one because the tranny cooler lines have already been changed to fit that radiator and I didn't want to buy new hoses as the ones on it are new any ways.
What I forgot to tell them is that the brackets to bolt it to the core support are about an inch too far out and the space was being occupied by many washers
So after about three tries of having to also make the holes bigger on the brackets finally got it in, hooked it all up (Did not put the washers on as everything was tight without them and I was pissed off enough I threw a wrench down the street, then realized it was it was one of pops snap ons and went running to find it)
Then realized I didn't have enough coolant to fill it properly and have to leave at 6 am for finals tomorrow...
