Radiator,, 1949 Chevrolet Gasser

In this video we try to overcome the overheating problem in the 1949 Chevrolet Gasser

Maybe the added weight of the new radiator will help keep the front wheels on the pavement! Probably not. Love all the videos.

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

Thank you very much. Not sure it will lift the wheels.

What shop built your radiator for you? Like the use of WD-40 to help slide the hose ends on! What are you using for gas? Sunoco 93?

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

I went to Empire Radiator for the radiator (they took a long time). That is not DW40 but window cleaner. Just enough soap to let the hoses slide on. You hit the nail on the head, there is a Sunoco right down the street. Have a good 4th

[@Barret_Radtke]

maybe do a push pull with the fans? front one and back one could be offset to get more flow through the fins?

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

The problem with that becomes power. These fans eat up power (the puller currently connected uses 18.5 amps. I am not running an alternator and the MSD box does not work wight under 9 volts
