C&R Heat Exchanger for '69 Camaro

[waynieZ]

Travis which pump did you get from Lingenfelter? I just got the Stewart EMP pump to use in my car, and last week I called C&R to talk about the Heat exchanger.

This one, I mounted it on the bottom of the rad support on passengers side. I used one of the bolts that runs through the bottom of the heat exchanger and mounted the pump horizontal with the band clamp that comes with it. Then ran my wiring down the pas inner fender. Then 5 miles of hoses! If you need pictures pm me you cell and I can text you a few next time I go to the shop. I know they make higher volume pumps I just didn't think I really needed one with the volume of coolant I have in my reservoir and the size of the heat exchanger.

I grabbed the one I have because I saw it on E Bay cheap and figured I needed one anyway.

Hey I noticed the hood latch clears the heat exhanger but hits the top lip on the a/c condenser. How did you all resolve this? Does cutting the lip off the condenser give you enough clearance? Should I worry about messing up the condenser if I cut that lip off?

I think it says in the directions,, that you go like seven holes in on each side notch it out. I did that and then the latch still hit when you went to pop the safety on the latch. So you can do two things. Either trim the latch down where it will hit the condenser. Buy a vw style latch and catch for the hood and build a plate or order one from ironworks I believe sells one. The only other choice would be hood pins. I am not big on them but it may be a simple solution. I think some grinding on the back of hood latch will take care of it.
