Cooling - Radiator I used

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

I solved my cooling problems with the following radiator in a 4-row:

NO connection with the company.  It looks stock execpt it does not have 
the Mopar markings on the top tank.

I am in Yuma with very high air tempertures, 383 engine, stock fan, no 
air dam, no shroud, I do have a high-flow thermostat and a new high flow 
water pump.

I was running too warm on the road and in town.

I tried a different fan, a shroud and a high flow electric fan, nothing 
helped until I replaced the radiator.  My problem is that when we built 
the car I had the original radiator recored to make sure I had a good 
core.  What I didn't know was that the new core was a 3-row but low fin 
count, it only had about 10 fins per inch instead of the original that 
was probably 16 to 18 fins per inch.  I didn't try to get a better core 
for mine, I just bought a new radiator.  
The guy I talked to from U.S. Radiator was very knowledgable and being 
in Pheonix, AZ they understood my problem with heat.
