Post subject: '65 Radiator

PostPosted: Thu Sep 12, 2002 1:46 pm

I bought my first Valiant last weekend. It's a '65, automatic, 170. My radiator has a crack at the top seal, and the car is running a little hot. I'm thinking about taking it to a radiator shop and having a flush and seal. But I'm also looking at dropping in a new one. My local shops, Autozone, Advance, Napa, etc., only search back to '67, and they think they're the same. Does anyone know if any years later than '65 will also fit my car?

My '65 Dart has a radiator form a '72 Duster in it. The bottom bolts holes were not in the same place, so I had to drill new ones. But it fit the chassis fine.
