That's Vinnie's contribution to saving space in today's ever crowding world.
I honestly don't notice the lack of spaces anymore. :hick:

Really who cares, there's other things to consider about Vinnie,
Like ah ah,I will think of something.lol

The needle stays on the cool side more than before.


Isn't this a function of the thermostat unless your radiator is severly clogged? It's all in the mind! :p

My gauge reads near HOT at 185 degree coolant temperature and near cold at 205. I quit paying attention to it as it varies for no apparent reason and the vehicle's got good wiring and great grounds (with new sensors on top of it all)!

I would believe a much more efficient radiator would be a large contributor to that as well.My thermostat wasn't changed,so something made it cooler,and all I changed was the radiator.

I bought my radiator with a lifetime warranty for $99.99 from Autozone about 2 1/2 years ago.Now,they have been upgraded,and the cost is $89.99.It weighs slightly more than nothing.Nice looking.A 3 row is $159.99,but I got mine free as a replacement warranty item and it cools great.The needle stays on the cool side more than before.

The swap receipt shows part number 321661 433556


Vinnie, I couldn't even finish reading that.  Its freakin' me out that your using spaces...lol.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
