Mike,
If you really want to keep the car original, sort of. I've heard the
same thing, but it's NOT a drop in
replacement. The radiator is supposedly from a Matador Coupe (a
Modean 589 need relocate the
top inlet, I've been told the 589 is NLA, but that the Modine 579
will work.) I've
heard that the Redi-Rad is not as good as the Modean, and that a 4
core block too
easily use 3 core.
So don't recommend you go at this lightly. What I did, was pull my
radiator, and took
it to a local radiator shop and had them "re-core" it. Which means
they pulled the
top & bottom tanks and then put a new core inbetween. Tell the
radiator shop what you
think about a replacement radiator and see what they say.
If you have had any overheating problems, you might want to use one
of the aluminumn radiators that Terry, Les, & I think Bob sell.
Maybe someone like Rick will chime in here also.
