      Aluminum Radiator Install

      I received my new radiator last week for my 69 Camaro, Decided to go with the C&R Racing setup, It looks like most guys are just bolting to rad support solid, and even with the top of the support. Just curious if there is any suggestions or things I need to check out before install, or just drill some holes and mount it. Man I hate to even drill holes in this thing,,
      Thanks Travis

      I am not familiar with the c&r setup, but just make sure there is some isolation betweent the rad support and radiator so you don't get electrolysis.

      I disagree with the electrolysis comment . The entire cooling system....coolant....... is in contact with the engine all the time which is grounded to the chasis/battery already. The reason to isolate with rubber fittings is so body flex and vibration doesn't crack the radiator. Mine is hard bolted to one side and rubber isolated on the other...my preference.
