Purchased Nissens radiator this morning, 2 gallons Zerex G-05 undiluted, 2 gallons distilled water....

Once I get radiator in, will report back with results.

Sptt, old hoses sometimes swell with age...but a lot of pressure is a good thing-- it means the pump is outputting at a high volume. I know my MB pump in the 260E when accelerating will almost pull the main hose into itself due to such a high suction!

I know Graf is aftermarket, but they use OE bearings and seals so it should be more than adequate.

Regarding cluster temp, ours over here has no mark, but resides almost right between 80 and 120, so one can only assume it to be 100C....? With an 87C thermostat it sits right at the midway point, half way between 80C and the assumed 100C mark, so its gotta be 100C.
