Hey I'm trying to find a radiator for an 86 22rte. I can't find one with the return line port on top of the radiator. I would rather not splice into a line and just stick with the right radiator. Anyone know where I can find one I've looked everywhere I know to look both online and shops. Let me know if you know where I can get one

 

Return line for the turbo

 

Hard to find one, and even harder to find one in good shape. You can get one custom made, or modify a 3 row 22RE radiator, but a cheaper and equally good option is to get a 3 row 22RE radiator and splice one of these into the top hose:

Add a right angle fitting and a length of hose and you're set.

Alright I'll just go that route.

 

is the fitting a fairly easy one to find? like a common one you would find at a hard wear store

 

Yes, you can get these fittings at Home Depot or AutoZone/PepBoys/etc.

You need one 3/8" NPT male hose barb:



Make sure the diameter of the barb matches the inside diameter of the hose you intend to use -- it's either 1/4" or 3/8", I forget which. Oh, and you'll need a hose clamp and some teflon pipe tape for assembly. When it's done it will look like this, more or less:



Clear?
