Reply to "Radiators?"

I bought my'74 in 2003. The FIRST thing I did was replace the radiator (stock radiator was leaking when I bought the car). The PO had installed the Meriah fans in the stock "pusher" brackets. All I did was swap out the radiator. Last year I completed the cooling system upgrade by installing dual Spal 12" fans ("puller configuration") and Pantera Electronics' Radiator Fan Controller. Huge improvement over stock fans (or even Meriahs) and 37-year old RELAYS! I did a "partial lay-down", leaving just enough room for the fans. The Fluidyne has been 100% reliable. If I were changing a stock system, I would do it all at once. While the system is opened, change all of the rubber hoses using high quality silicone or Gates Green Stripe. The dual-fan Flex-A-Lite setup is very good too from what I have heard. Oh..one more thing, make sure you have the correct thermostat for the Pantera..easy to search this forum for the p/n. It's been written up a number of times! Be COOOOOL!
