It will be far cheaper to simply have your existing radiator
flushed and repaired. It will cost less,
and it will be correct for your car.
Look in the yellow pages under "radiator". In the Portland OR
area, looking under radiator gave 30 different businesses in the area
claiming to do radiator repair. It should be under $100 to flush, repair
and repaint it.

Subject: Repro Radiator Question
Guys,
Anybody used one of the repro vertical flow radiators on the market?
I`m
deciding whether to get mine repaired or buy new. Moss lists one for
$199;
Victoria has one for $350. People there say they don`t know what they
look
like. Is there a difference other than price? I`d rather not have a big
ticket
item like this on the shelf because it won`t fit or looks wrong.
I think there was some chatter last week or so about bolt alignment
problems on a replacement radiator, but I wasn`t paying attention.
Also, could someone suggest a reliable shop to restore the present
radiator, maybe in the MD-DE-PA area...Thanks,
Bert Shirey
