I recently replaced my radiator for a similar reason.  The original radiator developed a leak in the top tank seam and I debated getting it repaired or installing a new aluminum radiator.  I opted for the new radiator (very reasonable price on Ebay for a 3-Row radiator, about $120 including shipping).  The new radiator fit perfectly and it runs considerably cooler.  The original radiator did not overheat, but on hot days it would run well past the center of the gauge in traffic.  The new radiator drops the gauge indicator much closer to the low side of the temperature band (probably bumping against the thermostat except on idle).  I know the new radiator is sourced in China, but the workmanship is very good, nice tig welded joints.

As far as originality, I'm not too concerned as I plan to keep the car for a while and use it primarily for cruising.

Good Luck,
Dave

I have an aluminum radiator in my 59, looks almost identical to the original radiator, the top tank has a very similar shape and ribbing. I have been driving my 59 with that aluminum radiator, cooling a 428 CJ, for 5 years now,and 6000 miles, and I am very happy with it. I bought it from Auto City Classic in Minnesota, for just under $300.00

To be honest...I'd call them and leave e-mailing to communication after a deal has been struck. Waiting on e-mail responses these days...reminds me of waiting on snow in July in the Mojave Desert.
JMHO.

Thanks for the helping hand Gary.

If they can't fix it, they'll make one.

Check in with gasman here. He lives just sw of you...and if there is ANY shop withing reach that can do the work...he WILL know who and where.
Has to be one somewhere I would think.

ok,  1  st,  I live in the Detroit area.    I took my car in  for a  new water pump,  an when  got it home I checked out  everything,  the top  of the rad had collapsed,   guess what?,  try finding a rad repair shop,   I think a rad presure check to 17lbs might possibly put it back to normal, not sure,   so aslso looking  into a new  aluminum rad,  there  goes original.    any thoughts?,    gota  be a rad  shop in detroit  that still morks on old rads?

Selling a TSP ready-to-run Y-block distributor with a Summit coil. It works fine, I used it on my 292 running it on the dyno. However it's larger than a stock distributor and I would've had to cut into my firewall to make it fit. Didn't want to do that, so here it is.
Would probably fit fine with no work in a vehicle with a little more room between the engine and firewall.
$150 plus shipping gets the distributor and coil.

Okay...found all four. Each is in decent shape from perfectly straight to small easily adjusted tweaks or bends.
How ever each also has some rust, though nothing that would require major repair. However, each does need to go to a shop for a re-chrome. Until my move across country they had been living in the rafters so no chance of being damaged. I have no idea how I would up with so many...only remember buying 2 of them.
Best I can do. Even the one on my Fairlane is gonna need a trip to the chrome shop. Sorry.
