Re: hood tabs on new radiators

I was talking to my local parts supplier about a new rad, he stated the rad didn't come with the tabs to park the hood in when the hood is open.

hood tabs on new radiators

Hello, was wondering if any of the replacement radiators have the tabs to put the hood in when opened. do you have the old tabs ones welded on? Thinking of buying a new rad.
Thanks:confused:

Re: engine noise

Just a guess, any chance there is a gen, or alt, bearing going out/ When I try to find noises, I use a piece of hose held to my ear to track things down.
