small leak in rad

Sep 10, 2004 1 Replies

i recently discovered a small pin hole in the "rail" where the fins are attached to. can this be fixed using a soldering iron? please advise, thx.


I had a small leak like that in the '79 T/A radiator. I had a radiator shop fix it in 1999. It's still holding up. The car has the original radiator.

The repair was $20 back then. Well worth having a radiator shop do it right. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 27k orig.
