Anyone running a triple pass radiator?
« on: May 11, 2022, 10:26:28 AM »
I hooked the a/c back up on my 66 Galaxie and although the engine temp is ok going down the road it heats up pretty quick idling or driving in slow traffic. I am running an OEM 68 Galaxie crossflow 4 core(1/2" tubes) radiator and a clutch fan. I am looking to upgrade with an aluminum radiator and electric fans. I noticed for not much more money I can get a triple pass radiator so I was wondering if anyone had done this and did it help and what problems, if any they encountered. Oh yeah, on a 92 deg day it was putting out 38 deg air!  8)   
Thanks, guys

If you are talking about those $150 ebay radiators, yes I have them on my stock FE Galaxies. I've had zero issues with them and are they ever welded nicely. Last one I bought even had the tanks polished.  How they do on hp stuff I can't say yet. I was thinking of buying a couple of extras just because I can't imagine they will; be around too much longer at those prices.

So I'm slow & broke, what went wrong?
