[Shotimes] Re: radiators and overflow bottles

[miethos]

I just installed the Heavy duty radiator from Advance Auto in my 93 MTX
and it fit great, hooked up perfect but its wider so the overfill bottle
wont fit back in without actually banging it down into the engine bay...
which is not what I like to do, it actually was rubbing against
everything and for some odd reason the car would not crank until I
removed it.  I'm going to buy a different bottle and place it someplace
else in the bay with longer hoses connecting haha.

Wish me luck!  The radiator itself is awesome thought!
