The radiator arrived today and is currently being stored in Dave's tool box room next to the slicks. Time permitting, verify that it is the correct one and if so, make plans to install it. When installed, take measurements for the upper and lower radiator hoses and we'll order the necessary parts.

I mounted the new radiator today. It fits perfectly, but one of the bolts that holds the radiator in rests against a ledge and the nut doesn't fit flush - its hard to describe, but it's an easy fix. The radiator is solidly in position and ready to mock up the hoses. The old radiator is in the Dart trailer and still has the fans attached.

To Do
Remove fans from old radiator and mount on new radiator

Mock up and buy radiator hoses
CLean up wiring under dash (looks dangerously close to accelerator)
Change the chip on the rev limiter to 5k, then work our way up if needed
Check steering box adjustment
Tack-weld glasspacks in place
