Re: Radiator ID 1955

Bottom outlet is the key on 51-6 radiators as they are otherwise very similar in top inlet, mounting and overall size. 51-4 cars have the Ultramatic cooler and water pump return on the passenger side of engine. 55-6 V8s have them on the drivers side. The bottom radiator outlet connects via a short length of straight hose directly to the coolers or, in case of a standard trans, via a long hose with a couple of bends directly to the water pump return.
The middle radiator appears to be an unmodified 51 as it has the original style 4 hole mount brackets. Those were suggested in a service article to be modified to the 3 hole configuration as shown on the 55-6 radiator.
