Radiator ID

Can anyone help identify the years this radiator will fit? The part number didn't help me. I think it might be for 79-83 cars. Thanks.

That looks like the short radiator. The tall one is almost square in dimensions.

I say "looks like" because the top tank looks different than any RX-7 radiator I have ever seen. It also seems to be missing the top/center mount for the fan shroud, although those were common to break off.

I heard back from the seller and the tank is 16" tall so it fits the earlier years. It is listed on Craigslist here in NH. https://nh.craigslist.org/pts/d/hook...787565265.html
They only want $60 so it might be worth checking it out.

I noticed this listing has been removed, but the link still works.

FYI, I went to the CFS website and plugged-in the part number on that radiator in the photo, it came back as "there is no result" for J16826269.
