[quote name='1revnrex' date='Jun 18 2005, 09:21 PM']You think the 79-80 3 row would cool better than the stocker in my 85 GS?

some 84-85 even came with or got replaced with a 1 row, 3 row is better than one, and has the brackets to hang the oil cooler, Ive heard about the REPU radiator being a 4row, but I havent seen one and are not very common or for that matter easy to come by so I cant be for sure. If they are 4 row I would love to have one swapped into my engine bay.

pay close attention to this point. it is VERY important!
by the way, where does one find them these days. the last one i bought did not have the coil and i need to get another.

I couldnt find one either so I bought a Goodyear cut to fit hose from Autozone, the ones that look ribbed. They are very sturdy, just watch the curve, it doesnt like 90degree angles.

The 84-85 is Two Row Radiator, but it is over 1/3 Taller.
The 79-83 is a Three Row, but it is 1/3 shorter.
They are both fine. I am currently using the stock 85 radiator
You get the lower hose from MAZDA. It's cheap.
----------------------------------
My car runs at 180 degrees, in the hot sun, leaving it idling with the A/C on full.
When cruising, it's about 170 degrees.
This is my new fan:

It's really quiet too!
