Mod to radiator for steel tube upper?
Thanks to the info & help I received from the fine folks on this board I'm in the process of converting my snake to the dual quad setup, while apart I figured I'd add the steel tube radiator hose setup to the car but have had no luck finding what I need to do (checked w/ERA & Pete's trying to get me a pic of the radiator w/the upper hose fitting for the steel tube). My car is #566
& has the radiator w/the upper fitting on the radiator about 45degrees to the passenger side (sorry it's an FE motor), has anyone done this modification to their radiator?, Pete said he believes you have to have the original fitting turned 90 degrees to the left, so the outlet points straight back & a little up, then the steel tube kit from ERA should bolt right on, does anyone know if this is correct? My problem is the radiator is out of the car, already at the rad shop for a test & clean & I'd like to get the mods done while it's there so I can order the tube from ERA & be able to get it all back together this coming week (manifold/carbs etc should be here then) but don't want to modify the radiator unless I know for sure. Thanks in advance for any info!
