'64 Jetstar suspension/brakes/cooling??
I'm trying to order parts for my '64 Jetstar, & have been given a lot of info I'm not sure about. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SUSPENSION; I've been told that some parts are a-body, not 88 series. I need to know what is a-body/what is 88. Can I use parts listed for F85/Cutlass?
BRAKES; Pretty much the same situation... I want to put discs up front.
COOLING; My radiator needs replacing. It is a downflow, w/ intake on Top/Psngr side, & Outflow on Lwr/Drvr side. I have not been able to cross reference one that will work. I don't beleive that the intake is critical, using a flex hose. I<ve had it sugested that if I change my water pump to a'65 type, that I can use a '65 radiator, which I have located.

I don't know if the 65 radiator fits in the 64 core support, but you can swap the water pump. Unfortunately, it is not that easy since the accessory brackets (particularly the PS pump bracket) may need to change also.
Why don't you just have a new core installed in your current end tanks by a good radiator shop?

Welcome.
That '64 radiator deal is brought up often, best thing to do is have the radiator re-cored as Joe said.
On the parts deal go to rockauto and they have a cool cascade type catalog with all the years and models. Have parts nobody else carries and real good deals.
I recommend them a lot here and don't even get kickbacks, a lousy discount at the least.
