Anyone have any experience with the aluminum replacement radiator from Wizard Cooling for $499. Their advert says it's fully aluminum and it has 2 rows of 1" tubes.
My '67 BJ8 is now running around 200 degrees fairly quickly, and can get up to 212 at stop lights, and it doesn't really seem to want to come back down much even at consistent highweay speed once it's hot. I've given it a new 6 bladed flex fan, a new water pump, new hoses, and a new summer thermostat and a couple of good vinegar flushes. It still has the original 46 year old radiator with no major work on it on my part since I bought the car in '74 with the exception of the occassional flush.
I think it may be time for some "structural" help. Do I re-core the origianl or start over new? If I re-core, any advice on tube size and pattern, or who supplies an apprtopriate new core?
Other then the temp she seems to be running very nicely, but obviously doesn't really like being this hot.
