Yes ATF.
It make sense - the fitting/connector who is new not leaks. The fitting who I use from the old radiator leaks. Thanks for the info. Now I have tighten the old one hard so it looks like the leaking have stop otherwise I switch it for a new!

I got mine on ebay too 220 with shipping  :o from Oscar's radiator shop, warranty and all.  :Twocents:  picked up some Radiator paint from Eastwoods to keep it some what stock lookin   :D

I have also paint my with eastwood satin black paint - looking great.
Remember a good base. It's aluminum so I paint with a etching ground before painting it. Clean with silicone cleaner. It's a little swedish-english, I'm not really sure about the product names in good english.

Hi again,
With my aluminum radiator was a ground cable appended. I suppose it is against galvanization?? Stupid question, should it be used? :shruggy:

If what it is being bolted to does NOT use a spider washer, YES.....

I believe its to prevent electrolysis. My radiator isn't insulated from the car in any way, so I didn't use the ground wire.

So, when using these aluminum radiators. Is the 1970 fan shroud pt # 2998326  style required ? regardless of model year it's going in . And I asume these are 26" radiators

:bump:

I'm going to be buying a new radiator and would like to know if anyone has more feedback on this radiator. ?   :shruggy:

I've had one for a while now. Ran it last summer without any problems. The only reason I haven't commented is that I have a 75 440 in my 68 so the water pump housing is different. The radiator hoses probably enter opposite to yours. So I had to call the guy and describe what I had. Many weeks later I got what I needed. I used a fan shroud from a 75 Dart. I had to trim the shroud to allow the room for the upper radiator hose.
