ok i have had 0 responses in the lt1 tech and my car is out of comission. i bought a radiator, and i think it may be an ls1 rad. i have a 93 camaro. is there any major way i will be able to tell if it is the correct/ wrong rad??? the problem is that my tranny cooler lines thread in and get tight, but if i wiggle the line by the fitting a little, it gets loose again. i know it is not unthreading. so any help is greatly appreciated!

 

If for no other reason but to get you TTT---I'll try to help. You should be able to sight up the flaring of the line to see if the flare radius matches the nipple on the radiator. As long as they are compatible, and the flaring on the line isn't excessively worn to the point of snapping off altogether, and the nuts are correctly threading on---then you should be OK. Also make sure the line is mated up all the way to the nipple before threading the nuts. You should always be able to thread flared line nuts by hand to the point that its obviously threaded correctly. Hope this helps.

 

well i went out last night and messed with it a lilttel bit. the nuts will stay tight until i start wiggling the line, then they get loose again. i started the car up and they dont leak but i dont wanna crawl under the car every day ta make sure that they didnt viborate loose. any1 else know if the two rads are tottaly diff??
