I have a slant 6 in my 78 D100. My radiator just blew a pin hole and was wondering if there is anyway way to repair it. If there's not do any members have a good recommendation for a replacement? Thanks

Where's the pinhole?

You can solder copper radiators with a plumbers torch........

Yup pin holes can be easily soldered up on copper radiators, but keep in mind that radiators rot from the inside out. Over years of neglect, untimely coolant changes, and time passing the copper thins. One pin hole generally indicates more pin hole eruptions are coming in near future. Also if there is a patch of white stuff growing near or at pin hole is an indication radiator is junk.

Take a look at radiator dot com where a lot of shops get their stock from and save the retail markup.
