Radiator Question

[87DX]

I took my radiator to the local shop. (They are a reputable business)

They pressure tested my radiator and it's not plugged.

The fluid is getting to the top of the engine just fine. However it won't get to the lower part of the radiator. It doesn't complete flow. There for I run VERY hot.

Any thoughts? I have the weber carb conversion. If that matters at all. Let me know what you think.


Cheers,

Bob

get a new radiator from junk yard.
i think i have seen new radiators on ebay too.
the other thing is you can try flushing the radiator. it is just pluged up with some deposits. you can get some flushing additives you put in your cooling system.
i did on my car twice. i don't have overheating problem anymore.

get a new one, like off of a dealer or a store or what not if ur planning to keep the car for a long time. used radiator is just not worth it. I bought one for my efi conversion and it just sucks cause its starting to rust and im prolly gonna spend around 150 bucks and get a new radiator. U will def feel the difference.

try backflushing if you have an air compressor if not the radiator shop should be able to do it for u

maybe the hose itself is plugged? or inside the block?
