I replaced the radiator in my '84 before leaving Hawaii and before I
even knew there WAS a list.  That was about 7 years ago but, as I
recall, I roughly measured the height of the radiator and figured I'd
have to be high enough for the thing to clear when coming out the
bottom.  Then, I believe I used a 4X4 length of wood to act as a spacer
between the jack and the van to achieve that height.


Anyway, the first attempt did the trick.
