Thanks Kevin - one last question...where is a good resource to find someone to restore my radiator....I assume it is not as efficient as it once was.

Craig,

Lenny at

J & L Radiator, Inc.

He did mine about a year ago and it came back in show condition. He will reuse everything except the core. The top and bottom rails must be reused to maintain originality.

AH, the old recore trick :) I sent my rad out for recore at a local shop that had did good work for me in the past. Told them to recore and save the old top and bottom rails. Front desk guy did not tell the worker and they were trashed before I picked it up. New core rails were nothing like the original ones. Found another guy that did them on the side. Turns out he was the "worker" and the whole story spilled out. Then, I bought the tamraz radiators from ebay (which has very close rails for $200) and had him swap tanks for $50. That plan worked out well. :D
