Well, my 67 daily driver's radiator is starting to come apart at the seams! What started out as a small leak (which I thought came from the drain petcock) is now leaving a two foot wide wet spot under my car. My voltage reg and horn realy are soaked with antifreeze. I have a few questions on replacing/repairing since I know very little about radiators.
Would this be worth repairing if it is the original radiator? How can I tell if this is the original? The letters O and F are stamped on the passenger side tank, and smaller letters H and I are stamped on the drivers side. Other than that, I see no other markings.
If I do replace it, would a 3 core 21" radiator be the way to go? There are several on eBay for $154.
Thanks in advance,
Gunner V

Thanks Mark! I don't know how I forgot about the folks over at CRG. My side tank leters indicate my radiator is a two core 21" unit designed for the L6 and SB motors with auto trans. I didn't see a Harrison tag on my radiator, so I am going to replace it with an aftermarket unit. Once again, the pros at Camaro tech have taught me something new about my Camaro!
Will putting in the biggest radiator I can find (23" vs 21" and 4 core vs two core) be better than simply replacing what I have now? I am looking to keep this car a daily driver and as close to stock as possible, but you never know when that HP bug is going to bite ;) and cooler is beter, right?
