So, where else should I look for a radiator for my GT? I do not need the two cooler unit…
We have the CSF radiator in stock as well as a no cooler Behr

The radiator is universal and fits all cars 77 to 95 with or without coolers.

Thx Roger, Sean, James as well. Do you just put plugs in them or do individuals use them for additional oil or transmission cooling?

While I am on this thread, I should also ask what coolant I should use with my normal distilled water and water wetter? It seems that products keep changing and I'd be well advised to keep current with the new products?

Hmm, does Water Wetter have anti-corrosion properties? I use a 50/50 mix of distilled water and Zerex G-05, based on recommendations here, along with a bottle of Water Wetter. I'd be leery of using no coolant unless you are changing it frequently....but I don't know of a reason why this radiator would change anything.

Radiator comes without plugs for the coolers and you do not need them as far as sealing goes as they are separate units from the radiator cooling system. The orifice is small however I guess you could plug them to stop ingress of crap should they ever be needed as coolers.

I second the Zerex G-05

I ordered one last week from Roger, should be here Wednesday. Glad to see so many positive comments and thanks for the tips on the zerex. The upper right hose connection on my 38 year old plastic tank just broke in half and dumped all the coolant. Luckily I was close to home when it happened.

The CSF is a great unit.
Yes on the G-05.

Received the radiator from 928 International and it is beautiful. Thanks on the G-05 coolant recommendation as well (Rog and others.) Will install radiator sometime before spring arrives.

Keep the shiny side up!
