Ah crap, I forgot all about it being the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival weekend. I spent yesterday crating the boat engine for shipping.
Keeping it on thread though I have stock radiator from my '74 on the shelf with a 3rd fan attached. If Asa Jay can make use of it it is his for thr cost of shipping.
