Re: 81 radiator - time to go (BSeery)
Kevin,
I was going to say that I looked at mine & think it's a 3 row.
To test the aux fan works you could disconnect the wire from the sensor & ground it with the ignition on (engine stopped). If the fan spins then that only leaves the temp sensor to check. There are 2 wires on the sensor, one of which goes to ground. I think the one to take off & ground is blue (not sure on that, mine had been badly Bubba'd).
good luck.
Bseery: I thought that antifreeze still had to be used in hot weather to help prevent corrosion - or does the water wetter do that?
:cheers:
