Radiator

1928-29 Pressurized Model A Radiator with Flat Tube Core

Price  $610.00 

Product Description

Ford never made a pressurized Model A radiator but our customers frequently request it.   For every pound of pressure, you raise the boiling point of water by 3 degrees. With our recommended 4psi cap, distilled water will boil at 224 degrees and with a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol it will boil at 235 degrees.

Using an elbow and keeping the neck and cap below the hood line your original Model A will look authentic from the outside and keep the engine cool inside. Whether in a slow moving parade, creeping up a long uphill grade or touring at higher speeds than your Model A ever saw in its production year the presurrized system will provide you with peace of mind.  It is a great addition for cars with overhead valve conversions or higher compression heads.  The 15" overflow tanks fit the 1928-29 radiator. 

Features of the Pressurized 1928 and 1929 Model A radiators include:

• Modern efficient copper core design with 10 fins per inch
• Louvers embossed between each fin to disrupt air flow and facilitate heat transfer
• 3/4" seamless weld tubes in a staggered array to disrupt airflow laterally
• Die stamped three piece brass top tanks with model correct die stampings
• Galvanized steel sidewalls to resist rust
• Cowl rod bracket for support rods to firewall
• Internal baffle in top tank to prevent coolant loss
• Funnel shaped top inlet
• Correct angle on lower outlet to clear power house generators
• Electric wire tabs soldered to lower tank
• Hood mount tabs
• Painted flat black to aid in heat exchange
• Radiator image seen with a fan shroud, fan, quail and overflow tank is available as separate items.

Our 1928 and 1929 Model A and Model AA truck reproductions are aftermarket products.  The design is based upon original drawings provided by Ford and original radiators we have collected over the last 25 years.  Each radiator is tested with an original Ford shell to assure general fit, appropriate neck placement and accurate mounting bracket placement. Each 1928-1929 radiator is also tested with an original fan shroud to assure fit.  If for any reason you are not satisfied with the fit, finish, design or craftmanship the radiator may be returned to us postage pre-paid in new and re-saleable condition for a refund.
