Hey Ron,

Why do you favor the earlier downflow rads as opposed to the crossflow version?  I am getting ready to drop a 1275 in my MK II Sprite and need to pick which radiator to use.  I have one of each type and the suitable hoses to hook up.

Thanks for any insight that you can offer.

Mike Carpenter

>"Gooseneck" meaning thermostat cover? You just need an earlier one that points the other way. All of mine are in use at the moment, but I'm sure there's one out there (I'm a big fan of the earlier radiator).
