    Radiator orientation

    I'm having hard time seeing which end of the radiator is up in the manual. Should the hose fittings point up as in the attached picture?20200215_153032.jpg

    Yes, that's correct. Keep in mind the radiator is angled down quite a bit. 50 or so degrees. So those outlets will be close to horizontal once installed.

    As Paul said the radiator lays back quite a bit. Picture shows general final fit with the fittings now in line with the hose.



    Also the red box is the area that goes up on the drivers side. There is a petcock there that gets used on some cooling systems with a hose to the burp tank.
