Find a good shop and have it recored. You can ask for a core with higher
density than the original and thus have better cooling. IMHO it's better
than buying a cheap repro that doesn't give you any better cooling and isn't
the original anyway. I had my rad recored and now cooling issues are a
distant memory. And that's in a car that was better at boiling over than
going forward. Even stuck in traffic in the summer sun the gauge only moves
a little.
Best of luck,

Subject: Radiator
I just pulled the radiator out of my 76 TR6 because of a small leak.
Apparently at some time in the past, the fac must have hit the
radiator and theres a great deal of damage to the cooling fins, much
more than could be combed out. Ive heard so many bad things about
replacement units on here. I was wondering if anybody knew of a good
aftermarket replacement. Thanks, John Mitchell
