Hi Jim
I had a local radiator shop put together a Modine XL 4 row for my Tiger
tanks. It has performed well over the last 5+ years. I have a 6 blade trimmed
mechanical fan and also a 16inch pusher electric which I use only in stop n go
situations occasionally. The car received a new crate 302 about 4 years ago
and I noticed that that new motor runs cooler in general than the old stock
260.

Hello,
As overheating has been deviling me (surprise, surprise), I've had a
modern
six bladed fan installed, a pusher electric fan, and a gulp bottle for
when it
pukes.
A laser thermometer shows a temp drop of only 12 degrees across the
radiator and it is not consistent in temp: there is an area that is
considerably
cooler than the main area.
Looks like it is time to get the radiator re-cored. I am asking of any
tips
in this regard. What works, should/can I get it done locally, or if
there is a
magic bullet lurking out there. I want to stay with a copper/original
style
radiator, not an aluminum one. There is a local shop that could do the
work,
but I'd like to benefit from the accumulated wisdom of you Listers.
Best regards,
