These radiators seem to have identical inlets and outlets yet is the model B radiator different capacity/ greater heat exchange than a model A radiator?

Not sure, but I used a B radiator to help cool the 55 Olds engine in my 32 back in 62. Due to clearance issues had to "make" a fan. The B radiator also cooled the Pontiac Tempest 4-cyl I ran for a while in the 32. FWIW
You're probably going to have issues with shell attachment and rad cap issues??

by JohnB15632I figured that there was something wrong with the radiator installation that prevented the hood from aligning correctly.
Well, I backed my A out into the sunlight and wow, my radiator is catiumbus.
So, how do I straighten the radiator?
Thanks,-

by mhsprecherI need to get a new radiator for my late 28 roadster. The good news is that there are options. The challenge is that there may be more than one good option. Here is what I have narrowed it down to:
1. New Berg's radiator
2. New Brassworks round tube radiator
3. Have Bert's recore my old radiator
Many people love Berg's radiators. They don't recore anymore,...-

There is a radiator manufacturer near me that advertises all types of radiator cores. While I don't need one now I thought I might take an A core down to them and see what they can offer the hobby. I don't think any of the "Model A" radiator guys sell just cores anymore and was wondering if there would be a market for just cores that you would use your tanks....

by dmaxwebI need to replace the filler neck on an original 30/31 radiator. Can I use a propane torch to remove and replace. What type of solder/flux? I assume I can do this by removing the shell and leaving the radiator on the car. Are the repro filler necks OK?

Does anybody know where I can get the Ford drawings/blueprints for the '29 radiator? I am interested in the specification of the radiator frame dimensions, core placement, etc.
Thanks.

by SuperhartI have a 350 Chevy powered 1930 Model A Coupe that has a 1932 Grille shell and hood. Car is NOT a high boy or chopped. Vintage Air is installed with condenser in front of radiator. Turbo 350 transmission. I have a persistent radiator leak that seems to be evident when the car cools off. I tried Barr's Stop Leak but that didn't work. I think it's time to replace the radiator. I want a quality...
