Reply to "RADIATOR INSTALLATION."

John, are you trying to mount the rad straight up or inclined fwd? There are straps that extend from the stock mounts to the rad in the inclined position, and they may well be individual. Another thing that sometimes happens is a minor front-end accident bends the front sheet metal and the two rad mount brackets on the crossmember then are slightly misaligned as well as maybe the upper bolt holes. CAREFUL hammer-work or a hydraulic jack will depress the lower brackets (in your case, more on one side than the other) for clearance to the hood- but be careful. It is possible to crack the bracket-welds with overly-aggressive force, and then you'll need a welder to fix things
