My 88 Eagle has a factory three core radiator also,
I like the extra rows on many of my AMCs, as if you have ever been stuck in
Houston traffic, nuff said. I also run electric fans on most of my cars, you can
get the small Hyundai fans for about $5 each at pick a parts, real easy to
install also, and watch the temp gauge drop when stuck on I-10 on a day like
today when it is 96 degrees.......

My 258 gremmie was ordered and came with the three core
A/C radiator. themixtoo@xxxxxxx wrote:
I thought so too, but when I pulled my factory V8 rad it was only a two row core. I paid
extra for the heavy duty cooling system (according to my window sticker).
I've got a three row core rad in there now. I think it's better to be safe
than sorry. 'The Mix' -----Original

That is my thought also, Doc. At least that is what they told me when I
ordered my Gremmie in '73. AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx wrote:

thought an A/C radiator was the same as a V8 one?

Bill so long as it is out of an A/C car you should have one big
enough. Up in "The Falls " all I run is a 160 and I am warm enough.

replacing the outside AC coils as well as the
radiator
as both are pretty much shot. I'd like to get a
heavy
duty radiator to handle the Texas summer heat so
was
thinking of doing a V8
radiator. Are the hose fitting
locations for a V8 cylinder radiator the same as
for
the six? Also, I picked up a 160 degree thermostat
but
am wondering if that might be just a bit too
cool....?
Any
suggestions on radiator
size?
Thanks.
