I know today sucked for working on cars but we did it anyway. The new rad was a direct replacement and no leaks, no problems. I drove to work and home and never got above 160 degrees. I have to mention here that i don't have the stock 472 that comes in a 74 hearse. It's got a mild cam, aluminum intake which makes more power and makes things a little hotter. I also use that "water wetter" in it, which keeps things 10 - 20 degrees cooler. before the new radiator it would run at 190- 210 degrees. we'll see what happens when summer gets here!
