Does anyone know of a screen I can put in the coolant hose to filter out junk from getting in the radiator on a stock 32-34 4 cylinder? An affordable over the counter part would be great

Thank you

A chunk of your wife's pantyhose. Check it often, as it can fill up quickly.

I just use some fine stainless steel mesh, like what's in a tea strainer, folded up and inserted into the top radiator outlet/inlet. Easily removeable in order to wash out. Prolly more durable than hosiery.

Buy a washing machine drain hose lint mesh screen from Lowes. They are made of stainless steel, they can be fitted in the upper radiator hose and held with a hose clamp.
