I found a pinhole in the tank on the original radiator in my 1990 Custom Cruiser, so I'm looking for an OEM Radiator for a 1980-1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, part number 3043351. I know they make lots of plastic and aluminum new ones but I really prefer the copper/brass originals and I love the downward-facing drains on them. All the drains on the replacement ones face the rear and the replacement one in my 98 like that makes a mess on the frame when I drain the coolant. All the parts stores seem to have are the plastic/aluminum ones, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

 

Maybe have a reputable radiator shop fix yours? Any left up there? Know they are an endangered species, all have closed here locally. Combination of no business, changes to vehicle construction, taxes, governmental regulations, and the general increased costs of having a business.
Personally, have five or six copper/brass GM core units, perhaps one would be the one you could have re-cored. solid metal, southern NM location.

Sorry, I took so long to respond. Do you know if any of the tanks on yours have pinholes?

 

Use this search engine to find a parts car in a salvage yard near you. I'd look nation wide for a 77-85 Delta 88 & 98. Also search for a Custom Cruiser all the way until 90.
