  Q: What is the method of fitment of the radiator in the Chevrolet Nova?

  A: The method of fitment of the radiator(and shroud, where applicable) has changed slightly throughout the production years of the Nova, but the following is a typical procedure. Disconnect the negative battery cable and drain the cooling system. Detach the radiator hoses from the radiator. If equipped with an automatic transmission, unscrew the cooler line fittings at the side tank of the radiator. Remove the radiator upper panel. Remove the shroud from the radiator(where applicable) and hang it over the fan. Carefully lift out the radiator. The shroud is pushed back over the fan. The radiator should be cleared of dirt and bugs by blowing from the rear with compressed air and the use of a soft brush. Take care that the fins are not bent. Installation of the radiator is the reverse of the removal procedure. Make sure the rubber mounting insulators at the bottom of the radiator are in place, and are in good shape.
