Dan got the new Cold Case F-body radiator in yesterday and it fit nicely and the hose connections and cap slid on without any 'fit' issues...except for the tranny lines. For some reason, Cold Case uses 5/16" connections for the flared ends of the tranny lines, the problem is, the factory flared ends are 3/8", so you have to get 5/16" to 3/8" adapters. Kind of silly they haven't fixed that, since most (all?) 60's/70's GM automatic radiators have 3/8". A minor issue, but frustrating when you have to run out to the parts store to get them...if they have them in stock...fortunately, they did. The radiator overall quality is very good and the look is 'factory' enough for most folks to not notice the differences. Dan painted is semi-gloss black before it went in, btw. Hopefully it makes a big difference in the running temps!
