Re: 1935 RADIATOR-REMOVAL HELP

Radiator will not clear the pump, it must be removed prior to snaking out the radiator. Water dist. tube pulls straight out of the block with pump off and radiator removed. Mine has 2 small tabs at the pump end to maintain it's position in the block. You can re-use it as long as it's not rotted out (old time coolant mixtures were evil) just make sure the holes are all open and you're good to go. A recore job is gonna be in the 750 or 800 range, due to the labor intensive nature of the project (don't cheap out here). I guess you'll have to figure your best option of cost versus labor/time if retrofitting is a direction worth considering.
