    Is that the CC339 Radiator? I was talking to a very nice young lady at Champion Cooling last week, and she talked me into buying an American Eagle AE339 (also maid by Champion) it,s the same cooling and HP rating as the CC339 but the tanks are 2.375in thick instead of 3.0in thick. It.s being delivered today and i hope to install it tonight. Ill let you know how it fits.

    Finally fixed the “safety warning” system (light and buzzer). BIG thanks to Bryant for the extra buzzer! :tiphat: . It needed a reverse lamp switch, re-connected a few wires and soldered a light bulb in the dash panel light. Now it’s as annoying as the day it came out of the factory!

    Also fixed the wiper washer system, replaced the washer fluid lines, unclogged the nozzles, cleaned the tank inside and out. Now it works great!

    I ordered the Pertronix ignitor and coil off of Summit. Those guys ship fast, so fast in fact I’m wondering why everyone else is so slow? They must have some kind of artificial intelligence over there that’s plugged into the Matrix reading our minds in the future!! Seriously, it was at my door less the 48 hours later. That was pretty awesome! I may get that in tonight or tomorrow, depends on my honey-do list (y)

    It's going to be nice once I get it dialed in and set up. It's 36' deep x 24' wide at the back and 32' wide at the front. Should be plenty of room to make a big mess.
