Is the V-01 Heavy Duty Radiator option in a 1970 98 with A/C a 3-core or 4-core radiator? If it is a 3-core, what exactly makes a radiator "heavy duty"?


Thanks in advance

 

It should be a 4 core. What makes it heavy duty is the extra row of cooling fins, larger capacity equals more cooling.

 

I know in the A body for 1970 there were two heavy duty radiator options, VO1 & VO2. One was a three core, one was a four core. I am not sure about the 98.

OK, thanks. I am almost positive I got the car with the OEM Harrison Radiator. The car had 49K on it when I got it. The service records indicate the radiator was re-cored 20 years ago, and a tag on the radiator confirms it. The radiator is currently a 3-core. So I'm real confused. Either Lansing put the wrong radiator in, or when the previous owner had it re-cored, it was re-cored with a 3-core. Why does this all have to be so difficult???
