Overall Assessment

Customers highlight the radiator's top-notch craftsmanship, great fit, and excellent performance. Despite minor modifications needed for certain models, the product was successful in various applications including a 32 Ford Sbc motor, a 29 Pontiac, a 34 Ford coupe, and a 1930 F-70 Chrysler Roadster. Customers appreciate its affordability and quality, that it operates flawlessly, and would recommend it for similar projects. One drawback is the attached dummy filler neck, requiring careful removal for use with a filled grille shell. Some found the drain valve quality inferior but overall, customers were more than satisfied with this radiator, endorsing it for its good value for money and great fit.

Fantastic Quality

The aluminum radiator in my Son's 1930 Model A pickup with a 32 grille started leaking and needed replacement. I found a "9893D" stamping on the radiator. My Son contacted the previous owner to see if he could recall where he had purchased the radiator many years ago while building the pickup. Speedway was the answer and my Son searched your catalog and found the exact same radiator still available so I ordered it for him. The radiator arrived in great condition and his rod is back on the road.

A good price but top brackets need some work

When I took it out of the box I was impressed with the radiator ... the way it was wrapped in the box but I noticed that the top brackets were not welded the same ... they were welded with thick aluminum but one of the angles were off ... I will find out if its OK when I am ready to put it on.

Installed radiator, filled with anti-freeze, started engine to Bild up pressure to check for leaks. Drain leaked in lower section of radiator, had to drain anti-freeze out and add plumber tape to the drain to stop the leak. Would have been nice to know that had to be done before I filled the radiator with antifreeze again, no leaks!!

I didn't realize it when I ordered it but you don't offer this radiator with out the dummy neck? So I assume to be able to use this radiator with the shell that's filled you have to remove the existing dummy neck?
