Hello to all, I have a 1962 98, I am in need of a radiator, I see people selling units for the super 88, etc. does anyone know what fits. thanks

 

According to the 1963 Oldsmobile parts catalog there were three radiators used in 1962 ninety eight models.
#3150942 Fits 1961 & 1962 all models except air conditioning, special cooling, or F-85
#3150943 Fits 1961 & 1962 all models with A/C, except special cooling, or F-85
#3155346 Fits 1961 thru 1963 all models with special cooling or police pkg, except F-85
The radiator number is usually stamped into the upper tank.
Generally all full size 61 & 62 full size car radiators will interchange, depending on whether they were equipped with A/C or not.
The difference in A/C and special cooling and non A/C radiators is the thickness of the cores. (3 or 4 core)

 

Thanks for the quick reply, can you check the parts guide to compare the 88 v/s 98 radiator part numbers. Thanks

 

There is no difference between 88 or 98 radiators. The difference between radiators is determined by whether the car was equipped with Air Conditioning or not.
A/C cars had a larger radiator for more cooling capacity.

 

Thanks again,,

 

I bought the radiator for my 63 from these guys, used the high efficiency variant 4-core as my car has factory air. Good quality and looks stock, shop around at dealers for best price.
