Default Cooling question
I'm restoring and customizing my 69' Vette. The car is automatic and has a Vintage Air conditoned system. I bought a De Witts direct fit aluminium radiator. Does I also need an Overflow or an Expansion tank????

If the rad has an integral pressure cap, then no.

Man, without the stock A/C or expansion tank, what are you going to do with all that room?
