RE: Radiator Source

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll second that, I had mine in the 383 rebuilt and it did not turn out 
well.

The new core had too low of a fin count.  The number of tubes was 
correct but the fin count was only around 10 per inch.  I even tried a 
shroud without any luck.  Finally an old radiator guy showed me the 
problem and told me in Yuma I would not be able to cool with my 
radiator.

That is when I bought a new one from US Radiator, 4 rows of tubes and 
much tighter fin count - all is good now.
