    Once again, guys I'm searching advice from the veterans here.
     It seems my A100's radiator is beyond repair & all anyone around here wants to do is sell me $500+ radiators! I KNOW there's acheaper source out there for the oddball size they use. What are you guys using & where do you get 'em?
    "Wally" is fitted with a stock 360magnum that I plan on setting up with A/C, so I'm not talking anything extreme here.........

    Those "Ebay" rads look as though they are the ones our mechanic used for our Newly rebuilt 318 cooling for Jewels' 8-door build this summer? Here are photos of the  box & tag on the box I took this past weekend:

    Radiator does a great job cooling the engine, by the way! Smile

    Well, I've been shopping around & yeah, there are plenty of people that'll sell me a rad, all in the 300-$500 range (mostly $500) but they all tell me their radiator proably won't cool a stck 360 with A/C in an A100:evil: . I simply can't believe there isn't anyone out there that can definitively tell me just what I need for the project or at least where to go for the rad I need. Any advice?
    BTW, does anyone have a working gauge cluster that works they're willing to sell?

    Sometimes you have to let loose some cash for what you need. If mine needed a $500 rad to keep it cool I would get it.
