My radiator blew just yesterday. Is this the correct measurement for a 1984 camaro z28 H.O. radiator? 26-3/8 x 16-7/8 x 1-1/4

Ive tried searching it but no luck. Could someone please help.

Or any auto parts store should be able to get what you want.

Im not looking for the part. Im looking for the measurements. Many auto parts have different sizes even though it says it fits my car.

 

why?... I'm just curious

 

Well, im new at this but dont i need to get the same size radiator? How am I gonna know if it mounts up correct? Heres a link to the rad im looking at. Should it fit my 84 camaro H.O.?

thanks

 

well why not just go to a radiator shop and order one? if it comes in and doesnt mount up to your application surely they would make it right...

 

I don't think there's a problem generally with parts fitment such as this--a part is ordered for a particular make and model. At least I've never experienced any problems. If nothing else but reassurance, however, you might order something in from a parts store and measure it against the original. If it doesn't fit or isn't to your liking, return it.

Ive noticed however that some sites measure 26-1/4 while otheres will measure 26-3/8. Will this have an effect?

 

1/8 inch shouldnt matter...

 

L@@K at this !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. I guess you could say im just nervous about having to spend the money. So many leaks I have to fix

 

Then buy one like the champion ( aluminum ) and u dont have to worry about it anymore, they are a direct fit and cool way better !!!!! Plus they dont crack where the plastic is added on ,,because they dont have any...lol

Just an idea !

 

I dont have the money to spend 300 rite now

 

You'll be fine with the stock replacement from AZ or one of the other chains. Around $100 and you can bring it back if it doesn't fit. Lifetime warranty.

 

Its only 195 and they also make an all aluminum 2 row ( like stock 0 for 145 )

go on e-bay and do a search !!! if not , yes a stock one from autozone or such will work ..but in 2 years u could have the same problem,,,its very unlikeley that the aluminum ones fail !!!!!!

 

Im interested in the two core. Pepboys wanted 135 for a single core radiator and if auto zones the same im probably gonna go with the 2 core aluminum. Thanks daredevil and everyone for the help.

Oh and will my stock single fan mount up the same way with the two core rad?

 

The fan , yes...to order , go to this

then just PM the main person ( top of page 0 and let him know u want a 2 core ) !!!!

like this : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Camar...Q5fAccessories

 

the key thing is to use premixed coolant or if you mix your own use distillled water

 

????????

 

I've used distilled in my last 3 cars. There is no calcium buildup & no other contaminates.
No bleach, flouride, etc. Tends to hold up better all around IMHO...

 

daredevil... you get a kick back for sellin the champions lol.. if not they need to make you a rep for sure lol

 

just found this in the classifieds... shipped 175 alum rad.
