In this video, I install an all aluminum 2 core radiator into my 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Nice step by step, very helpful with mounting electric fan👍
I like that you used high speed during some of the "bolting down". Now if we could actually work that fast in reality. :)
Totally wish I could work that fast in real life! Glad you liked the fast forwards :) Thanks for watching!
Great video! Good step by step process
Cool 😂
If you use a hand siphon pump the job is a whole lot cleaner.
Very true! That could have helped a lot!
What symptoms was you car having my 71 cutlass is having problems and I think its the radiator
My radiator was leaking and not cooling as well. So, just swapped it out and it helped. What helped the most was getting dual fans.
How cool did it get
please make a playlist for the cutlass!!!
I’m tryna order a champion radiator for my 1980 cutlass surpreme but I’m a lil confused on outlet and inlet hose positions, if I’m not mistaken my radiator should look exactly like your but have 3 rows, is the inlet hose on the driver side ? ( from a drivers perspective and the radiator is facing you) ?
How it hold up
I’m looking at the same radiator for my 1980 cutlass, okay so would the inlet be the higher radiator hose or the lower one, when I order it online it asks me if my inlet location is in the drivers side, cost a lil extra
Is it fine to also run the trans cooling lines to an external trans cooler? For those that buy a radiator with no trans cooling
Absolutely! I have actually been toying around with the same idea.
Chad Williams it’s cus there’s a huge section with out trans fittings
I’m ordering one from eBay with 12” efans @ 1400cfm and shroud for $180 & a separate trans cooler for $20 . Pricing is Not bad at all
Ahhh, that makes sense. If you are going to run an external trans cooler, no need for the radiator trans cooler :)
Chad Williams the trans should be safe tho right running it like that? I hope it don’t over heat by running it Seperae with a small cooler
do you know the difference between the two core and the three core? I was just about to order the three core when I saw your video might save me money if I only need the two core instead
The Champion 2 core radiator is about $155 and the Champion 3 core radiator is about $215. Here is the link to the 2 core in my video: amzn.to/2PdGkb7
I got a 67 elcamino do I need new radiator bushings or am I okay? Merry Christmas!
Also are the nylon mounting rods easier or just zip tie?
And can you show the process on how to install the alternator? My negative for my alternator has a butt connector instead of the loop to go into the stud
It all depends how the radiator bushings look. I would totally recommend the nylon mounting rods. They are worth the $5
@@ChadWilliamsFixesAll they seem alright actually not as solid as they should be but not completely shot yet
Is that a mousetrap? Be careful!!!
Lol, yeah, had some mice from the barn I got it from :)
Nice 👍 the car is looking good!!! I just had a 6.0 LS swap done on my car and I need to upgrade the rad and put some electric fans!
How does the fan turn on? I have a ls swap and I’m trying to have it turn on when it needs to on it’s own?
Also what goes under the radiator? What rubber insulator’s and top rubber insulator’s? I bought a aluminum keep it cool radiator from opgi
