I'm still having some cooling issues on my '77 Midget. Next step is to pull the radiator, flush with the garden hose, then reinstall. If I find the radiator is in need of attention should I buy new or have the old one rebuilt?

Thanks,

Marvin
 
Rebuilt, ie new core is much much cheeper and can be done localy. Result is a new radiator.
 
Lately the price of re-coreing is approaching the cost of a new rad.......

I'd check unless you want your original, old tanks on a super high efficiency core. (that's what I did)

Does it ever freeze in Tulsa.......Might run distilled H20 & water wetter if not.
