Sounds like the one that is broke is the one that goes to the throttle body. If it is broke at the tank, a radiator shop can put on a new tank. I have had so so luck with that though. Sounds like whoever sold you the radiator burned you unless it was damaged in shipping. Call Gene at Fred Beans and get a new one.

Can you get a hose over it at all?

Default I have a radiator

idiedtrying,

I have a C5 radiator I'd like to sell so I can upgrade to a Dewitts. I put a brand new stock one in to pass MA state salvage inspection. It is a few years old, but only has 500 miles. I failed inspection 2 times because MA Troupers are... well... not my friends.... Which is why I have a brand new dash in my car.

PM if you want pictures or info.

Regards,
Tony
