converted_to_datsun Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 This radiator was in my 620 when I bought it and was not wide enough for the mounting holes. It sprung a leak so I replaced it. It's allot smaller than a 620 radiator and says made in Japan. I figure someone pulled it out of another model Datsun. Any clue what it's from? I was thinking 520 possibly? Quote Link to comment

converted_to_datsun Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Kinda what I thought. Only seen under the hood of a j powered Datsun once at pick and pull tho Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 the early 620 was like that 73 and some 74 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 the early 620 was like that 73 and some 74 Yup. The same part number is used for the manual rad through '74. The '75 and on used a different rad support that allowed more room for the rads used on the hotter L20Bs. Perhaps they were slightly wider too. This could maybe be an earlier rad.

converted_to_datsun Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Good to know haha so probably not worth keeping around then? Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 early rad. have one in my red 73.. its an inch shorter than the one on my black\blue 73 due to that one being out of a 78. Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's worth scrap value at least, or you can have it repaired at a radiator shop. Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not worth repairing to me haha I replaced it with a radiator I pulled from a junk yard. A guy I ust to work with knows datsuns pretty well and he said I got the big radiator which sounds good to me. I also put a new water pump in at the same time Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well hang on to it or give it to someone who will. Quote Link to comment

Jayden71 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 A true Datsun owner will always be able to mow his yard and find a Datsun part that he or someone else needs. Quote Link to comment
