Re: [Chrysler300] 61 300g radiator question

["Warren Anderson" <wranderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone out there help, What is the correct part # on the top of the
radiator tank for a non air 300g. Also can anyone measure the thickness of
the core
and let me know what it measures,my radiator was recored and I believe the
new core is a little thin. Thanks Dave Clelland


In talking with radiator people and looking through catalogs what I have
found is what is labeled a 'high efficiency core'. Some of the ones I have
seen as replacement parts are not as thick nor do they have as many rows of
tubes as the original radiator core. Where the diffference will be  is in
the fin count; the number of fins per inch.  But, if you have a replacement
core with fewer fins per inch than original and fewer tubes and/or fewer
rows of tubes than the original I would expect that the new unit will
probably not cool as well as the original. From the experiences I have had
with recores, a core that measures thinner than original may look strange
but if it is a true high efficiency piece it should transfer heat every bit
as well as the old thicker core.

I  have dealt with only three radiator shops in the last 23 years and they
were not the type of operations to put in less than workable parts. Some
shops will use less than spec stuff I would guess.
