Default My new DeWitt's Radiator...

is on it's way! I ordered it last nite, and it was shipped today. It might make it here (LA, CA from Mich) by Friday.

I can hope... shoulda ordered it Sunday, but, alas, I didn't. When it arrives, it arrives!

otherwise theres nothing special about the install

Well... I ordered the manual version, so no auto fittings.

CC - I don't think it will be here until next week... so next weekend? If nothing else we can still do EBJ afterwards.

It's a great radiator and a fairly easy install. Here's what you have to look forward to with pics.

Did you get the version with the oil cooler?

If so, you'll need these from Summit:

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...1&part=EAR%2D9 85009ERL&N=700+4294841509+115&autoview=s ku

Don't pay attention to the 8AN, that is really a #8SAE (3/4-16).

I thought about the oil cooler... but passed for now. My oil temps RARELY get over 210, so it didn't seem all that important.

Hey Andy, are you going to document the installation on your C4Guru webite? I printed out your shock installation article and plan on using it when I install mine sometime this summer. It's a great website
