Default Ok I ordered it!

well I ordered my DeWitt A63M radiator for my 68 vert. I have to thank members of the forum for all the posts on radiators... After looking at all my options, to me it pretty much boiled down to becool or Dewitts. This forum really is what made me go dewitt.

I swear though, Durango boy must work for Tom or something...hehe

so any tips on putting it back in? use cardboard and distilled water... anything else?

Ha ha, trust me, the only relationship I have with Tom DeWitt is the radiator I bought from him. I have to say though that for all the money I have spent on this car, the money for the DeWitts radiator was just about the best spent. Just so many good things about it...looks, quality, performance, fit, customer service, and value. I can't say enough good things about these radiators. Heck, even the packing is impressive.

Yes, tape cardboard to the core for installing. Distilled and NO exceptions. Also, plan to flush every year to keep everything clean and free from corrosion. Lastly, don't forget to remove the drain valve taped to the inside of the box.

Post pics when it shows up.
