It was more of joke, ha. From what I've seen, that radiator has seen better days. I would physically take it out if you can and show us picks. Be prepared to have to possibly replace it.

What's the update on the search for it having a front air dam or not?
Have you checked your ignition timing? Timing being "off" can play a part in making an engine run too hot.

Your radiator, at least from the outside, doesn't look all that bad. But that doesn't tell about the insides.
Is that your air conditioning condenser shown in pics 1, 2, & 5, or was that taken out?

The dam scoops air and directs it through the radiator when highway driving. A missing dam = a hot running engine on the open road. You need a damn dam!

About 40 bux for a new one: Camaro Air Dam on flebay
Or keep an eye out for a used one. Any boneyards in your area that might have old Camaros?

Oh, and if you're searching for them online, technically they're referred to as an air deflector.

Yeah there's a few yards I can look in around here. Thanks for the help once I get one we will see if that works.
