WOW!!!
NEW radiator went in with no problems, I'm running basically a 90-10 misxture of distilled water to antifreeze since its a hot summer, and guess what?
my MPG took a turn for the better! I'm now getting 385 miles to a tank of 91 grade, where I used to only get 300-330 to a tank!!! also, my temp gauge used to register just a hair under halfway, now its running a couple notches below that! better MPG, better cooling, I'm one happy SVX owner today
thanks again for all the help and input from everybody! if it weren't for this site I'd be paying out the butt for repairs, now I can do all this stuff myself
