69 Corvette 427 Radiator Installation NEED HELP Cortez427 12-30-2003, 12:06 AM
i am currently in the process of installing a new radiator on my 1969 427/390 4-speed. I do not have A/C or P/S. The old radiator was removed without an issue and the shroud was removed easily as well because it had a major crack on the lower right portion, allowing it to move around the suspension arms easily. Now for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the radiator and replacement shroud into the car. The problem areas are the lower radiator neck and getting the shroud past the suspension arms. using two people we are able to get the raditor neck down and 1/2 of the shroud down, but that is where it stops on each attempt more or less. the chevrolet assembly manual does not lend much assistance. I feel like there may be some trick to this that I am just missing. Any pointers would be appreciated. thank you for your time Related Links Enter the largest automotive community on the planet! |
