new radiator

anyone know were the best place to buy a radiator for my 68 108 318 automatic ? lucky to make it home it blew out a mile away, aluminum radiator would be ok also, thanks for any help

John there is no direct bolt up aftermarket rad for the a100's call these guys tell them what you have and what want , 2 core 3 core 4 core , tranny cooler and so on they can fix you up, that is what i'm running, made in the U.S.A. http://www.fsrradiator.com/

thats what i'll do in the morning, thanks dix, we just got back from a nice long drive, i pulled in the garage and it blew a hole in it, thank god i didnt go to butler i would have been stuck,

You will never be stuck at butler, we will allways get something done. you would NEVER be left alone...

o i know that, my luck i'de be stuck out on the road, lol i wish it would have lasted a little longer tho, i'm going to remove everything this winter the rad. was on the list of things to do, i'll just get an early start on it now,,

THIS YOUR VAN DIX ?

dodge man Can yours be recored???? Then you won't have mod it

thats what i was thinking G-man if i dont get one from fsr radiator, i'll check with the radiator shop in steubenville maybe they can recore it, and i'll get a price on 3 cores that would be even better

Yes that is mine it was done at butler, i guess i need to make a post regarding this.

yeah put some pictures in it,,

WELL, I ORDERED ONE AT FSR RADIATOR FOR 470.00 THE RAD. SHOP IN MY AREA WANTS 560.00 TO RECORE MINE, THATS CRAZY, I THINK AN ALUMINUM ONE WILL BE MUCH BETTER,

just gave them lots of pictures of this old girl, haveing a new aluminum one made, i'll upload some pictures when i get it,

JUST INSTALLED MY NEW RADIATOR FROM FSR, IT FIT PERFACT AND RUNS COOLER THAN EVER, THANKS DIX FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THEM, GREAT PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH 3 DAYS AND IT WAS AT MY DOOR, THE ONLY THING IT WAS 470.00 BUT WELL WORTH IT FOR A ALUMINUM RAD. THAT BOLTS RIGHT UP,

Are you using a stock fan?

YEAH EVEN WITH THE OLD RADIATOR AND NO PAN TO GUIDE THE AIR IN, IT NEVER WENT PAST HALF WAY ON THE GAUGE EVEN WITH 80 DIGREE WEATHER, STOCK FAN AND 180 DIGREE THERMOSTAT,

I WOULD RECOMEND FSR TO ANYONE WHO NEEDED A RADIATOR, THEY HAD JUST WHAT I NEEDED, WITH THE PRICE OF COPPER, I SHOULD GET ALOT FOR MY OLD RAD.

Will you post the part number that FSR issued for that radiator?

145100 it fit perfect in my 68 A108 318 it would be the same # for a A100

Perfect, I have a 67 A108 that will be losing the /6 for a V8 soon.

Thanks

when you call ask for bill, tell him what you have he'll fix you up, very nice people, and fast service

I need to repair or replace my radiator in my '65 A100, 273, automatic too and I don't have a service manual. Do I take the front "dog house" engine cover off with the radiator in it and then take the radiator out of the cover? Are any of you using an overflow tank that fits next to the radiator inside the front cover? It looks like there might be room. What pressure does the new  aluminum radiator operate under? What type of a cap are you using, e.g. 7 pounds with a pressure release lever? Did the price quoted include shipping? Any recommendations for shops near Ventura, California?
Thanks, Sweetvan.

Well as for pulling there are four bolts attaching the radiator to the radiator frame (front housing), they screw in from the front, two on each side. I dropped the radiator from the bottom.

Yep out the bottom  A  frs rad will come with a cap about 16 lbs. and i'm running a over flow.

if you do go with a new one its worth the money for a aluminum one from four seasons radiator {fsr} they have all the measurements of the one you need,
