Zinc anode<br>
<br>
I'd recommend the zinc anode. I first installed one in the water pump but
later moved it to the upper hole in the Fluidyne radiator. It doubles as
an air bleed by opening it slightly, and doesn't cause a mess when I go to
drain the radiator through the regular drain cock:<br>

The photo is from Jegs because Summit doesn't have a photo. (and neither does the
Fluidyne site).<br>

Pantera Owners and I really DON’T see know way a radiator could only flow
air only one way, BUT, a fan can do that. In addition, if the radiator truly
only flowed air one way, it would overheat at speed as well as in traffic.</span></font><font

Mechanic said that since I had sucker fans my car should have been sprayed
with water when he ran the water on the front of the radiator. Instead the car
was DRY . This meant that the radiator was now allowing the water to flow
through and thus no air could flow through either.</span></font><font

radiator core appears to be sound. We noted no failures of our Materials

of a replacement radiator [with the new 5-row Pantera core] for you. Per
your instructions, we will install your fan temp sensors on the new core.
You have also asked us to install your fans but in light of the problems noted
here, I believe you may want to consider replacing these units. We can
install new Spal units [the only brand I handle] if you prefer and I also
suggest we install a Zinc Anode in the drain bung to protect against
Electrolysis in the future.</span></font></i><font color=black><span
