    My freaking radiator just burst.

    Acually it just cracked from the filler neck about 4 inches down at an angle to the crimp that holds the top tank on. Now I got to drive the freaking 8 mile to the gallon 76 Blazer.

    That happened to me... don't waste too much money on the repair kits... they will fail, it's good just for a temporary repair.

    You can try to fit a Fluidyne into it, but I'm not sure of the closest match. I'd look at the 90-93 Integra, and go from there.
