If i buy electric fan set up will that help any? or will i still have to buy a new radiator

Mine held for quite a while but eventually the pressure made a pin hole in it. There are several aluminum radiators available.

I have an electric fan with shroud. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | If the radiator is in good shape I think it'll do the job unless the engine is sitting mighty low in the frame for whatever reason.
There is another thread here about a bolter buying a new aluminum radiator for 159 bucks from eagle manufacturing. Might be agood investment since most shops charge a lot more than that to vat and rod one out. | | |
