Re: hAetwagon's 65 Progress thread..

K guys,
I've been in school for about a month and have been working mu butt off.
I'm very excited as the amount of stuff that I can do has exponentially increased. I'm not going to be able to do what I want when I want to quite yet and am currently faced with a few necessity repairs.

1. I need to get a new radiator. BAD. It looks like someone took a needle and poked holes in my current one. If I had my druthers I'd have my classmate from Sparks drop by summit and get an aluminum setup with shroud and relay but that's going to have to wait.
I'm going to scour Craigslist to see if I can find anything..
in the meantime. Does anyone know what radiator I could pick up from Kragen for what model truck or car with Trans cooler attached (or not) that I could use?
They don't show a replacement but I figured there'd be a cross reference somewhere.

2.
The powerglide I bought is slipping.
It worked fine when I first installed it.
IS it going out? Dirty filter?
Do Torque Converters go bad?

I'm getting another crash course in life right now and I'm sure these are all basic questions...
I'm going to assume that the trans needs rebuilt as it's slipping in 1st as well, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance Y'all.
