Topic: C4ZE Y1 4 Speed Radiator Questions

[JeffWS]

I have a C4ZE Y1 (4th. wk of April 1966) 4 speed radiator that I will be having flushed/pressure tested at a local radiator shop.  Should the radiator be painting semi-gloss black? Also, for what prices have these been sold?

When new they were more on the glossier side of semigloss spectrum however after a few heat cycles the paint typically dulls down .

Thank you for the information.

Did the 65 66 radiators all have the radiator opening off to the side or were some in the center?

Guess your asking about a V8 radiator based on your first post. To see examples of where the radiator intake and discharge locations I suggest that you just look at the dozen or so examples in the unrestored picture section of the site.

I was referring to the inlet, where the radiator cap is attached. The 65 66 seem to be off to the side. Did the 65 66 radiators have the inlet centered? I don't have the gallery password.

If you are talking about the radiator cap inlet and if centered or not then the one that is centered is not for a Mustang. Mustangs radiator have the radiator cap offset. I think that one that is centered is for early Falcon .

Your a member and the password and process when you logged in unlocks all those special members only parts of the site\

On the main page scroll down to the main section that included the sub area where you posted/found this thread and the main section below that you will find the Unrestored Picture section then just go to the list of cars and pick out a few V8 cars and look for the detail. If course if the subject/part is not in any or only one of those your welcome to ask as you did. The self help method just get you (sometimes) quicker answers and often people find it helpful to see pictures

I need to replace my top tank with the correct one.

Can anyone steer me to someone that might have a tank?

You probably know this but others reading may not in that the Dearborn and Metuchen top tanks have a squared off indention for a square folded over side strap and SJ has a round top indention for a rounded top side strap.

You will need to search high and low. I suggest wanted ads poster on the major Mustang sites. Remember that while your searching mention also the dates your focused on. since your doing a nation or international search anyway, might as well ask for it all then you can choose or make choices from what is found. Also it will reduce the number of times a potential seller might need to provide pictures or check what they have by stating it all up front.


Good luck with the search

Thank you everyone.  I found a tank and it will be installed next week.
