Default Re: Radiator 1928 model A / AS questions

Modern aluminum radiators cool well but several people have reported that aluminum radiators for Model A's don't fit well. A new radiator will set you back about $1,000. I cannot believe that a radiator shop would charge nearly that much to flush out the old one.

Flush out the engine too. As others have said, vinegar helps. It is a mild acid. But if the mouse have made a nest in the engine it will take some pressure from a hose. Make an adapter at the outlet neck (goose neck) at the top for the hose.
