Changing my anti-freeze this morning on my '78 SA I accidently twisted off the petcock while tightening it back up. Can it be fixed in some way or is it time for a new radiator?

I think they screw out. I remember replacing one that the "T" broke on a long time ago.

Actually, the petcock and the mounting threads came off at the base of the radiator. Just pulled right out.

In that case, I would start by calling a good radiator shop in your area and ask them this question. You might be able to pull it and have them clean it up and repair it cheaper than buying a new one, especially if originallity is important to you.
