G’day,

I have an aluminum radiator that I intend to install in The Blue Streak when
I fit the Caddy 500 engine.

Recently there has been some info published stating that this radiator is
more susceptible to damage from electrolysis than the standard radiator.

IIRC the radiator in a GMC sits on two rubber pads at the bottom; there are
two rubber pads at the top and it's connected to the engine via rubber
hoses.

From where I sit that means it is insulated from electrical currents or do
electrical currents run through the water?

What can I do to prevent damage from electrolysis?

Thanks,
Rob Mueller
