Tom has a great product gang. I put one of his radiators in my car at the same time a friend put in a cheaper version from a no name vendor. Long story made short, he finally got the right radiator for his car after sending it back three times and cussing all the way.
The point? You get what you pay for.
And don't forget to buy all new seals when you make the swap. Every little bit counts when it comes to cooling a vette. I replaced every single seal on my car when I did the engine/ radiator swap and now my car doesn't get over 180 deg (and this is with the single belt driven fan on a 525hp BB!) Dr. Rebuild is the place to go for seals.
If you were having cooling problems last summer this is your answer!
Thanks Tom!

That's a great deal for those who have been waiting for a DeWitt radiator. This is the setup I purchased the last GP which was probably 2 years ago. If I can connect those Dual Spals, so can you.
Compare Tom's 10% discount and free shipping with the $100 discount Kiesler is offering
on a $3,000 tranny. Hmmmm... 10% vs 3% Do the math yourself.

Len, are you running the fan control module that Tom sells? I am thinking I would like to add this to my DeWitts setup.

I have the dual spals in my 80 and my car never gets above 180 in the south Louisiana heat, humidity with the A/C running in traffic. This is a great product and Dewitt's is a great company to deal with

Thanks for providing such a great product Tom, and this great deal. I hope you have great success with the deal this year!! I hope for so much success, that you'll want to do it again next year, when I'll be able to join in!! Can't do it this year for all kinds of reasons you don't want to hear about!
Anyway, to ya!

I am running the fan control module on mine and it works very well. After sorting out the type of sensor I have no problems with it. I am running a single fan on mine but the wiring for the duals is very similar.
