Greetings Forum Chums,
I need some input! The water pump in my 1976 Ford 231 self destructed the other day...Removed the pump and will get a remanufactured water pump replacement, as I don't at present have a press. Here's the question, what do I do with my 40-year old radiator? It looks to be in good shape...not scaled up.... doesnt look corroded .... should I take it to a radiator shop and have it flushed and pressure tested or should I not tempt fate and replace the radiator?..
or...Flush it myself??....Thoughts gentlemen?
