Buying a radiator
Buying a radiator
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.

Re: Buying a radiator
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.

Re: Buying a radiator
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.

Re: Buying a radiator
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 !!!!!!
Re: Buying a radiator
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?

Re: Buying a radiator
the key thing is to use premixed coolant or if you mix your own use distillled water

Re: Buying a radiator
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...

Re: Buying a radiator
Thanks Daredevil. It was a blessed occasion. We gave thanks for Tuned Port Injection and adjustable fuel pressure regulators and Fast EFI..
Seriously, it was great. How was yours?
