Jassifrass Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 So my radiator is leaking and i don't know where. anyone have a spare? When it sprung a leak in Eugene we soldered it and it held, its not that spot. im 100% sure its not that spot. BUT the guys there had to custom order one for me. Take my measurements and such and find another one that would work. I'd rather not have to do that if someone has one here. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 what are the dimensions? then we can check the spares and see if they fit :D Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 uh i dont have the measurements anymore....i dont think i have a measuring tape here either.... Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I asked Mike to check one of his and he said "The mounting bolts are 8 3/4" top to bottom and 23" side to side. This is for an L18 and L20B with air conditioning. If the air con is bigger maybe it is thicker (3 core) but they would swap." Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 its the same as a 610 i went with a vw rabbit rad Quote Link to comment

Or are you running a separate oil cooler? Quote Link to comment

Jassifrass Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 the radiator is still leaking though it seems to just be a hose and it's not really that bad. There are still air leaks from the smog crap that are making it run like crap. Cant handle going over 40 (sounds like crap and struggles) and it dies going up hills if they are to steep. and yea the oil pan leaks like crazy. Quote Link to comment

If replacing a hose cut lengthwise on the rad outlet/inlet and peel the rubber off. Yanking on the hose can fuck up the soldering joint. Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 hmm....that would have been nice to know a while ago :lol: , i have taken that hose off a dozen times dealing with the timing issue a while ago Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 i had a plymouth that i thought was just the lower hose and turned out the solder gave out on the lower fitting Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Jess, it's only a problem on years old hoses that are stuck to the outlets. If they were off recently they aren't so bad to pull off. Real old ones (if being replaced) can be cut off. Should be cut off. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 did you ever get the rad fixed? Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 My car got some much needed love yesterday. I went over to Mike's and he helped me figure out what was making it crap out on hills, among other things. He gave me some NGK spark plugs to replace my crappy champion plugs <_< , Tuned my weber good, set the timing right, and adjusted the valve clearance. All the intake spots were way to tight and the exhaust spots were way to loose. (please forgive my poor wording) My car runs so quietly now it's amazing. :D When I pull up to a stop light I actually wonder if the car is still on because its so quiet. He also found where my radiator was leaking and soldered it up, no more leaks!! And my starter. I got a new used one from 78kingcab. It was partially the starter going bad but mostly the flex plate. The teeth on it are almost non existent. :( The old starters teeth are all rounded. The new one will work for now, its not making the griding noise, but I need to fix that soon. Thanks again Mike I really appreciate the help! :D 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I like it when the intake and exhaust r nice n tight, oh shi- this is about cars? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Glad to hear she got some needed attention. I should have a spare L20B auto flexplate laying around somewhere, and I have the one on/in the parts goon. When I strip it I'll put your name on it. :D I took an auto tranny from a '78 parts truck and I must have the plate here somewhere. Have to look. Quote Link to comment
Jassifrass Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 oh thanks!!! I don't know how much it weighs but i'll pay for shipping if its possible :D Quote Link to comment
