1994 ZR1 Radiator Replacement - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

pzcg7l · 11-29-2022

Recently got the word that my 28 year radiator needs to be replaced. It's no longer flowing fluid like it should (and has a very small leak).

What's the consensus on a good way to go for judging? I've procured the stock replacement from Corvette Central (I'm sure the other usual suspects carry the same model), but it's got an extra unit inside the one plastic end tank for automatic base cars, i presume. The version pulled out of my car doesn't have this. Does anyone have experience running this type of replacement part? Does it negatively affect flow at all? I know cooling is always a hot topic (intentional pun) here so wanted to get the group's thoughts on this one.

Any other input on a good way to go that won't impact judging too much?

Thanks in advance.
