Hey Duke;
I took your advice and checked on the price to re-core my original rad…$357.00. Meanwhile, I have this nice alloy rad that I bought and won’t be able to send back, that I would really like to see in my engine room.
I also bought a Miloden "stock" replacement water pump, ( not the high performance one) to replace the original pump that has the less desirable impeller, according to the Tiger Tom/Chuck King article. Trouble is, it is longer than the stock pump, and will not fit with the alloy rad.
I can return the Miloden, fit the original pump, and run the car while I wait to find one of those better original pumps.
Lots of room to continue to play here, if I don’t bankrupt myself in the process!
Thanks for the advice!
Keep on Tigerin’
Dave
