2 radiator questions

[Tom Love]

Thanks
Just what I wanted to hear.
And, yes it is just one more thing to go wrong plus I like the idea of more
fresh air to the engine compartment.
I ran my urq (when I had it) without and never saw more than 5 deg F diff.
in running temps. on hot days (85+)
Thanks again
