Help with Installing a Dewitts Radiator
Has anyone installed a dewitts radiator 941 in a smallblock in a 63-72 vette.
I have one here and it does match up to the mounting holes for the bracket. Anyhelp is appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

Harrison Radiator is a dewitts radiator...this is a 941b style radiator without the the GM part number. http://www.dewitts.com/pages/productdetail.asp?ProdID=2
Problem is that when i put the two rubber feet in their holders in the bottom radiator support and bring it forward to mount it comes up short. Just wanted to know if anyone ran into this same problem.
Thanks
Jim
and yes the radiator is a used one..

I did e-mail him and we went back and fourth a couple time but i guess the pics didn't show enough information?
He is out today so i thought i would try here.

I did finally talk to tom and it sounds like my radiator supports were altered to fit the previous radiator in there. Will have to go down to the car and check this out now.
