My two cents: I haven't had any overheating issues (knock on wood!) since I
had my radiator recored in 1973. When I bought the car the PO had not used
antifreeze in it and the radiator very quickly clogged completely with the
rust particles that broke free. The car had been sitting for quite a while
and I guess in Sacramento, CA, the PO figured why waste money on antifreeze?
Anyway, the car has done well with the more modern core that was installed
then. STever

I tried everything I could think of on my 100-4 and after throwing lots
of money at the cheap fixes I had the radiator recored with a modern 4
row unit and thats what did the trick.I installed a Texas cooler but it
did not do any good with a worn out radiator. For sure get a sleeved
thermostat but save your money on the rest of the quick fixes. Jaunito
