Well i found the source of my coolant leak (big crack)

Hmmm. Pretty sure my AC Delco water pump had right-hand threads for the fan clutch. Right-tighty, lefty-loosey. Or am I wrong?

Oops I don’t remember…and I noticed that thread I linked said nothing about it.

I don’t know what radiator to get I don’t want a Chinese pile of junk one but i don’t wanna swap in a used one I finally budgeted out the money for a new radiator just need to find which one to get Any idea which one to get?

I replaced mine with an ACDelco OEM. It was from rock auto.

I've been second-guessing myself since this came up, and found this (cropped) pic courtesy @iamdub. Hard to tell but it sure looks like they're RH thread. Couldn't find a better pic easily.

Edit: I got confused there because I saw your post about rh threads and then the OP said “ correct righty loosey “ which is wrong right? Hahahaha shit.

I will think about it because it’s a somewhat major decision however any radiator that doesn’t leak and fits is definitely better than mine rn

I thought I was crazy when the dang thing wouldn’t come off when removing it righty loosey but I figured out the dang thing is tight which is good for it not falling off but bad when trying to remove it

That part number leads me to a water pump

Yes, one with right-hand threads (standard on-off) for the fan clutch. Are you looking for something else?

I think you’re turning it in the wrong direction if you’re acting like it’s reverse threads because like @Fless said it’s normal threads, at least I’m pretty sure it is. So lefty loosey righty tightly.
