I'm sure he meant median,since a meridian is a made up line on the globe.

I'd bet your rad is cracked and that's why it's leaking. If i were you I wouldn't waste my time on a used radiator from a junk yard, in my opinion thats about as bad of an idea as screwing around in the rain in these cars. Get an oem or aftermarket radiator... made for 5.0 foxes.

Hopefully you learn from your mistake and don't repeat it in the winter time when its snowing.

my suggestion is to buy a new one. get a fluidyne, becool, or even a summit alum. to me its just like plumming. instead of running back to home depot fifty million time for the correct fitting like most people do for under your sink. go there one time and buy the whole kit that fit under your sink. everything will fit together as it should. save yourself the the headacheof wondering.
