Any Radiator Shop should be able to braze that in a couple minutes, it should be a easy fix for them.
Call the differant shops around though because some of them will try to take you to the cleaners. $$$$
It should only be a couple of bucks, like I said it's a easy fix.

Actualy if it isn't leaking I don't think I'd bother

thanks guys. it is leaking badly. i miss typed before. guess i will hunt around for a brazer.

make sure you get someone who knows what there doing to much heat and the hole thing will fall apart. Soldering it would be better.

Barb, the guys are right, just find any old time radiator shop and they can solder or silver solder that back on for almost no money. Don't let them tell you that you need more than that, if they are honest they will gladly do it for not much money.

I just took the radiator for my 27 in this week, the top seam was split and they had to silver solder it to try to get some strength back. A nice cuban guy was the worker and when I came to pick it up I asked him if he was the one who did the work, and he said yes. So I slipped him a $ 20 and when the owner of the place saw that he said, your bill is paid ! I told him I couldn't do that, but he insisted. It's nice to know there are honest, nice businesses out there yet.

You won't have any problem getting yours done cheap too.

PS, glad to see you working on the Monte again, it was pretty boring without your posts.

any thing that is controled by ignition sw. wiper mtr. is a good one you can run a seperate feed from fuse box so long as it is only on with the ignition

From what I know Barb pink wires where neutral safety switch wires.

now i have found a green wire out of the firewall that is going to nothing.

Hook up a test light to it with the key off and see if it lights up.
If not, try it with the key on. If it works only with the key on, you're good to go.
If its hot key on you would maybe want to use an in line fuse as you wouldn't know where the power source is coming from.
