new rad help *pics*
OK, I got this radiator.. and its for my year but it dosnt seem to match up. If you look at the first pic the radiator shows mounting holes on the side of the rad. and the second pic in my car, bolts go in straight threw, not sideways. Is there some sort of mounting brackets I need or somthing for this? Because I just dont understand it. oh and the third pic is my old leaky rad, that looks way diffrent.. but yet fits..?

That rad you pulled out is for a 86-88 and it is not a stock one. it has been replaced before....
the stock ones have bolt on brackets. and the 89-91 ones have bolt on filler necks.
you need both of these to put your new rad in. and you don't have either... you are pretty screwed. you will have to try to find a cheap or free stock damaged rad to take the brackets and filler neck off of.
