Wonder if that's the cause of the overheating that I've been blaming on the air conditioner? Anyway, as long I'm replacing the radiator, is there is a bigger or heavier-duty one off another year/model that I can upgrade to? This is an '82 8V with the filler cap on the radiator (no expansion tank).

Well, it's really about what will fit. Width is a determining factor as
is the pins/pegs on the bottom.

Good news is most current replacements (OEM that is) are
interchangeable.

If yo can you should consider changing over to the Expansion Tank type,
it means a change of one of your lower coolant hoses for the return line
and finding a good place to mount the thing up higher than the rad but
is 'stock' otherwise.

Curt, what year, model do you have?
