Hi

I ended up having to get my radiator recored because of a current running through it causing it to plug with minerals.

I was told that likely the ground from my engine to the frame is not exactly copacetic right now.

Are there any suggestions as to what I should do?

How can I tell if I have cured the problem?

Thanks

i think u put one multimeter lead in the coolant, and the other to a good ground and see if you read any.... if i remember right

Thanks for the information.

As for fixing the ground, I thought that I would just remove the ground from the block to the frame and clean it up.

Does that sound like an idea that would work?

I usually add another ground strap from the neg. battery post and go right to the radiator wwith it.

That sounds like a good idea.

Did you just scrape a bit of paint of the rad put a wire through an eyelet and put that on one of the bolts holding the rad to the body?

When I worked in the marine industry we had small lead zincs that were part of the brass drain plug. They would attract any problems instead of eating the radiator.

J.C.Whitney used to (maybe still does) sell a sacrificial zinc anode for radiators - I got one, but never installed it, as it seemed it would interfere with the radiator cap. seal.

Even what seem to be well grounded radiators that get regular antifreeze changes can get corroded up inside over the years. All stock Mopars I've worked on ('65-'77) use 5/16" steel lines from the trans cooler in the radiator back to the trans, so I'd expect they'd be as solidly grounded as can be. Still, I'll go check mine for good grounding this weekend.
