Auto City Classic (ACC) 22" Radiator Looking For Shroud Answer

[Don67Satellite]

Hey all,

I posted in some H&C threads awhile back about buying this Auto City Classic (ACC eBay Radiator) and for the most part it does the job it's supposed to, but at times of extended idling, the temps can climb with the old flat hood.

I want to add a shroud to it, but it does not appear to have the flanges you get with the 26" ACC or the 22" Speedcooling radiators. It seems to maybe have mounting provisions for brackets with the little square nuts on the side...?

I use an 18", 6 blade mechanical, fixed steel fan.

Has anyone else installed this radiator and mounted a factory shroud to it?

Thanks for any insight.

They use this style of bracket for use with a steel shroud.

How do those brackets mount? Picture leaves a lot to be desired

The one's @BLK 68 R/T mentioned? The square nuts go in the square holes I guess and then you bolt them up. Does seem fairly straightforward, but not much is "easy" these days.

I bought the one for 1963. Did the brackets on yours actually match the car?. Nice looking radiator but my brackets are set back too far, about 1" to 1 1/4". I'll make it work with spacers. Plus the lower bolt hole is no where near the factory nut placement, I'll have to drill a hole for the lower bolts. While the core is exactly right at 22" width, the height is also an inch short.

Hi,
I have the same radiator but with inlet on top right,
What shroud did you go with in the end? there's a part # 2949130 that's supposed to fit, but also 2998328 looks the same
any insights please

I purchased an auto-city rad exactly as you bought, for a 66 satellite application and the reproduction steel shroud used for non 26” rad applications would not fit in any universe

I realized from others posting, that the rad had the provisions on the sides for the brackets shown above, and then the steel shroud *should* have worked. Would it have cooled the 440 well after that? Maybe. But I decided to make a change.

Since the original post I have gone with another ACC radiator, but a 26" one, and the repro Mopar shroud fit like a glove. Holes were in the right spots. Ma Mopar 7 blade fan and she runs on the t-stat @ 180 all day so far even in traffic.
