What is a two pass rad?

OK that is when the water goes down one side and comes

Makes plumbing a lot easier.

Hi Paul,

Who is the source for the radiator pictured in     Scirrocco_Rad.jpg?
Is there a source for one as pictured in your Cad drawing with the
coolant filler on the same end?

Thanks,

Slow going for my GlaStar

Summit Racing sells two pass rads. Ed Klepies can make one
for you out of just about any core.

I like all aluminum Howe racing radiators for about $200.
