Jester Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Welcome to Ratsun Luis. Honestly, the old saying about there being more than one way to skin a cat comes to mind. Personally, I used a '91 Volvo 240 radiator. Worked very well even in the summer time. Quote Link to comment
LuisB Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The ones I was looking are the ones at ebay but they seem to have the bottom outlet in angle , the reason I was asking is because I don't want to espend a lot of money cause I got other things I need I really don't want to spend no more the $200 Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Just get your stock radiator repaired, they work just fine. Maybe you need to make another post since you have 2 on the same subject and didn't like the answers in the 1st post Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 You have already started a post on your rad.... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/64485-radiator/ Keep track of it and use it. Don't start another. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The angle on the lower radiator outlet is to clear the alternator. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Some are straight out and the bend is formed into the lower rad hose. Have that in my 620. Think my 521 had the bent outlet? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Both my 521s were bent. Both 620s are. I have a few loose radiators around my shed. All have the bend. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Bet they are for the L16/18s. The L20B rad support is dented outward from the engine to move the rad forward for more room. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I believe that bump in the core support came around '75. About the same time the L20 came to the playground. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 It is strictly an L20B thing from '75 on. Same as the fuel line return. Quote Link to comment
