Replacement radiator

Post by Tleg93 »

So, the other day my radiator went bad. I bought a replacement part but when I opened the box there was something different. The new radiator has an opening at the top on the tranny coolant inlet side, at the top of the radiator that looks like a fill point. At any rate there isn't one on the old part. Anyone have a clue about this. Oh, there doesn't seem to be a place for the overflow reservoir tube.

They gave you a NA radiator. Take it back.
You need one without the fill neck.

How much was it? You can get a Koyo H.D. aluminum rad for $216 shipped.
