  O M G............  "Pink"??????????    sigh!!!!!!!!!

  How ya doing Dan, I was going to start the new motor yesterday and found out the radiator  leaks........

  So I could not get it repaired due to the damage.  I have it at the auto parts store I always do business with and they are going to try and locate one for me..

It is a Biggie and not the one the catalog says it requires..  1 1/4 wide

18 x 22   ---   Mine is 2" wide and 22 x 26...  never really had a cooling problem

just the cooking of the right foot from heat.  Work going ok??
Since I retired I just envy the working guy" LOL..  Don't mind me my wife says
I was born a smart ass..
I be starting the new motor some time next week.  " I hope"

Take care, John

HuH...Smart guy eh?
Ive been home almost two weeks. ;D
But you got me wondering what the dimensions of my radiator is.
on which side ( looking at the engine from the hood) are the inlet and outlet? mIne are both on the left...
I will take measurements tomorrow just for fun...then post them.


That pink Clipper is hopefully good enough for my friends to buy ( who want something similar to mine....hehe) :-*

  Hi Dan, Glad to hear from you...

  I talked to Pete the owner of Tops Auto suply here in Anaheim.

  and he showed me the book"  The Dodge van calls for the 1 1/4 inch wide

  radiator.?????  Strange, Mine is  2 " wide... and the inlet and outlet are on the pass side.

  But the book doesn't list a 2" wide for the Van..    Well, stranger things have happened..

  Maybe the prior owners put the larger radiator in...Who knows ....

  You be good and have a great day tomorrow..   John
