[Mgs] Repair or replace Radiator?

[Councill, David]

I usually have a radiator shop repair mine as well at about half the
cost of new. But I had to replace the one on my 67BGT a few years ago
with a new one from Moss or a Moss reseller. Mine also runs a bit hotter
than the original one did. With the original one, coolant temps usually
ran right at or slightly below the thermostat rating, 190 F, but now it
usually runs 195-200 F even in cooler weather. Several other people have
also mentioned that their new radiators have been running a bit hotter.
But other than the slightly higher temps it hasn't been a problem as the
temp stays stable.

 I never had any temperature problems with my radiator, which may have
been the original, but it started to leak badly. I took it around to
several places looking for a recore, but only one place would consider
it, and they wanted a huge amount of money (I'm in the Maryland suburbs
of DC). So I bought a new one from Moss and it looks just fine, but now
my temp gauge rides just under the "H", where as before it was just over
the midpoint. And, yes, I did flush the system.
