[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16933325, member: 70025"] After I got the radiator back it was time for reassembly. Radiator guy said he found several pin holes and the core was good, but may be weak. He said he could have a new core built for it if I needed or wanted. I said I would install it as he fixed it and if I still had problems I might have it re-cored. [ATTACH type="full"]1800711[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1800712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1800713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1800714[/ATTACH] I purchased original style radiator hose and clamps to match the originality of the car. [ATTACH type="full"]1800715[/ATTACH] Still need to get the original style clamps for the heater and by pass hoses. [ATTACH type="full"]1800716[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1800717[/ATTACH] This is where I stopped taking pictures. I ended up getting it all back together and taking it for a test drive. My factory gauge still reads hot. So, I think the gauge itself is defective. I checked the engine with a thermal temperature gun and it does read on the warmer side, but not hot. So, I think it needs to be flushed more and I will purchase an after market temperature gauge and see how that goes. Vacation is over, but not this project LOL. Stay tuned.......... [/QUOTE]
