    Ordered a new 2-row Rad from Champion. Eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

    Looked at it. Thought about it. Made some plans. Been a while since I've been on here. PXL_20230617_170022336.jpg PXL_20230617_170006394.jpg

    Replaced the shifter link bushing... 7341 - not a fun task.

    The old one became brittle and disintegrated - pro tip (as in I messed up), never assume the car is in park as this failure occurred while shifting to park from drive and the failure point put the car in neutral!

    Can't see well in this pic but half the thing is gone.

    Worked on finishing the AC in my car. The electric fan doesn’t have enough CFM to cool the condenser. Might pull my Taurus fan off the shelf.

    Kind of still deciding between a stack injection setup and that.

    Got the rad. Couple more things to do/get before installing. Question for all those who have aftermarket wiring kits. Did you get internally ballasted coils, or did you install ballast resistors? Or did yours come with resistance wires?

    I bought one of those last year-it worked great! I did have to elongate the mounting holes, as the radiator will sit a little too low, and the drain cock will actually touch the front crossmember. I slotted them about 1/2" and it was great after that. I can sit in traffic and the car will not go above 200.
