Re: Radiator Cap Won't fit into the grill shell
Good Grief. I re-read my reply and your reply. I will try to be clearer for you. I am not in a position from 8,000 miles away to tell you the exact cause of a leak in a radiator made 9 years ago. ...

Re: New Radiator Opinions
Not sure how you took away that we do not make radiators. It's what we do. We traded numerous emails and I explained how they were made in by Ford and how we make them and why a number of things...

Re: 1934 Ford Pickup Radiator
Sorry we lost your vote.
1. There is no listing for a truck radiator on their website, just a car. You can remove your OE brackets and affix them to that radiator we just don't know why you'd...

Re: radiator
Yes, a cheap aluminum POS is bound to be problem free. Another tip is to order a larger radiator when you can or at least know how to measure.

Re: 28-29. 30-31 radiator interchange

Re: 31 Ford radiator
The most common radiator is priced at 725 today. Restorations of the Model As require further handwork we do not incur in the production item(s). I would be happy to provide the tube and fin material...

Re: Radiator Question
Thats a 1.5" ton radiator. Your lower hoses fitment may be a
challenge. You can likely restore that radiator and place the hoses where you want them. That can sometime be less expensive than a...

Re: Radiator Cap Won't fit into the grill shell
Frank - The neck hole and aftermarket cap are the issue in this photo. This should not have anything to do with the radiator or the radiator neck. I just measured a Vintique cap and its .050" wall....

Re: 1936 Radiator Availability
This is a good point. A cap's pressure is measured in pounds-per-square inch. If you imagine 1" square graphing paper overlaid on a tank and then imagine a 16# weight on each of the squares you...

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
"crud coming out of the bottom outlets"? You said you had a boiled the block and had hot tanked the radiator two times. Where would sludge come from?

Re: Engine temp rises when I get to cruise speed
