Needing the top plate and a radiator for my 64 convertible.

Are you keeping your car original? So do you need the radiator that has the hose connections for the 1964 only water pump? If so I have a used one that needs rodded and maybe re-cored. I'm swapping out the 1964 engine from my wagon. Let me know if you'd like to see pictures. I'll have to look and see if I've got an extra top plate, it was just a small bracket for 1964-65 compared to the later years. John

I'm still not sure yet. I just notice that I didn't have one. I'm thinking about going with a 350/Th350 if the motor in the car doesn't run

Well, I think you need to make that decision before buying a radiator. Unless you want to change the 1964 water pump to the newer more common design. I believe it would fit and that would give you the ability to go with the more common radiator and radiator hoses too.

P.S. I plan to go with the 350/TH350 on my wagon as I plan to use it as a daily driver.

John, I may be wrong, but I thought that the late water pump interfered with the timing mark on the '64 only engine. Am I incorrect? Thanks, Bob.

I'm not sure, I've got some 1964's but have not made this change myself. Joe P. or other 64 guru's can you comment on this?

I like the idea of swapping the water pump to the newer common style. I'll just need to find some brackets?

Would anyone know the dimension for the factory radiator?

2blu442

I've got an original radiator out of the car. I'll see if I can locate it and take some measurements for you. John

2blu442

Sorry life's been busy. Do you still need details on the radiator?

Alex72cutty

No, I'm pondering on selling it or parting out now.

If you part it out, Im looking for rear 64 backup lights.

Alex72cutty

I will let you know in about a week.

Streetrod -Few years ago I needed some back up lights for my 64 too and discovered that 67 Buick Skylark wagons are the same and scored these GM Guide backup lights still in the original box on E-bay. I think I used the Hollander to cross reference what fits what but not 100% sure.
