Re: Proper rad for L-78 nova
 

Darcy, I used one of Heartbeat City's radiators in my burgandy Nova and am very happy with it. It was a bit pricey but in my opinion a well done product.

Sound like I made the right choice. I will invest in a can of paint and shine it up before I install it in the car.

Mike, do you have any video or links to utube of that camaro making a pass??

That is a cool video of the Nova.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]
That's about what I do in the first 60' lots of smoke, but still a blast. I do not have any good video making a pass.

Shoulda dumped the clutch on the roll back. That makes really cool fish hooks. (big smile)

Re: Proper rad for L-78 nova
 

Finally recieved my rad from heart beat city. Took a lil longer then what I expected, but the wait was worth it. Was expesive, but to have the proper codes on the tanks is pretty cool. I gave it a glass beading, and a couple coats of paint. Got it installed with the proper matt for the top of it, shroud, clips, etc. It finally looks like a proper big block nova now when you open the hood. That small block rad cover was bugging me! The only problem that I'm having is the bottom fan shroud clip on the drivers side doesn't hold the shroud firmly in place, and the shrould like to move up a bit, and touck the fan. Any suggestions on how to fix this minor problem. I was thinking a small piece of machanics wire. Which would be virtually invisible to the eye. What have you gentlemen done in the past to remedy the problem?? Thanks for all the advice guys.
