Default Aluminum Radiator!!!

Yesterday I got to install my cooling system, and finally let my car run for a while. My last Stang, I bought a Be Cool aluminum radiator. I spent about $450. My friend had an aluminum radiator from Summit, that cost him about $170 and his car never overheated, so I figured that I would try the one from Summit. Well, I drove it all around the neighborhood, and let it idle for a while, and it didn't get over 150. Anyone with questions on will the universal radiator fit and work good? YES , here is the part # SUM-380431

I'm assuming you have aftermarket guages? Thats great for a racing application but for a DD a 3 core brass/copper works fine.

By the way your ride looks great !!!

Great now your car doesn't go into closed loop.

Unless you're carbed which I don't know.

Nevertheless an engine running that cold isn't the best.
