[AMC-list] 4 Row Radiators

[Matt Shumaker <mshumaker@xxxxx>]

Four row core brass radiators can work just fine.  I used them on a 76 
Cherokee, an 83 Wagoneer and a 74 Hornet with a 258 6 in the warmish 
summers we get in Phoenix.  The trick is to find a radiator shop who is 
willing to actually listen to you and what you want. The rows of cores 
need to be about 3/8 inches apart.  Next, the number of fins needs to be 
less than half the number that would be installed in a "regular" one, 
two or three row radiator.  Too many fins in a four row radiator will 
cut airflow and actually cause more overheating.  With these specially 
fabbed radiators, I was able to drive and tow in cool comfort at 
temperatures up to 119 degrees.
