junkyard 396ss coolant advice

[Bruce]

Your not even taking your car to a mechanic, he's a parts exchanger, and not
a very good one at that.
Jegs has some AL radiators that seem nice.
2 row 1" tube for $181, and 2 row 1.25 for 1.25"
Just put a 2 row in the regal, it holds about 1 quart more fluid then the
old 3 row did.
