If I have one made I will have them fix this on as a spare.

With a cap type radiator and Dex-Cool, there is a danger if you have small leaks, when the sytem cools down, instead of sucking coolant from the reservoir, air can be sucked in through a leak spot. The reservoir might look up to snuff, but there would be air in the radiator which would react with the Dex-Cool. I see on the pickups that came with Dex-Cool the reservoir was as high as possible so gravity would help refill the radiator even if there was a leak. Then around the time the late 90's GM went to the pressurized coolant tanks.

Thanks David... good info.
AFCO is next day airing out a new radiator. We "think" the leaks were vibration related.. they will do a post mortem..Last edited by Damn True; 10-23-2008 at 09:13 AM.

I have an AFCO race raditator for my 67, it's got an engine heat exchanger built in on the left tank. It's a generic fit race piece, not very shiny, but I plan on sprucing it up. Mary has their direct fit $$$ one in her 73 Camaro and it's darn nice, but no built in cooler.

We installed the new Centerforce light metal dual-friction clutch last nigth. Also got the chance to install an SFI bellhousing from Quicktime. Let me tell you, the Quicktime bellhousing is a VERY nice piece! Very happy with it.
With that in we installed the new Rockland Standard Gear built T56 transmission. Here Jim from Classic 5-Speed gives us a hand. He knows all of the install tricks.

I think it's more in the accidentally-rip-your-finger-off-hazard mindset that it was pointed out. Originally Posted by Damn True

I know. It was a joke.
I worked on CG helicopters for eleven years and it used to drive my 1st wife nuts when I'd leave my ring at home when I went to work.True T.

I leave my ring off when working on the car.. ticks off my wife when it's in a picture off.
We even said to Jim "Hey, your wife will be happy you're wearing your ring"... that's why he's lauging in the shot.
Anyways.. he was just posing in the shot holding the trans.. not much chance for injury."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."
