I'm with Charles 100% on that. If you don't do your homework and don't find out what's causing your overheating, then buy an aluminum radiator, you're just wasting money you could be spending on something you need more for your restoration. And buy telling these untruths you're putting money in someone else's pocket, and you don't even get to benefit from it. LOL

There's only two things about an aluminum radiator that lures you in. It saves weight, and has larger tubes in it. And I might add, far less tubes than a stock radiator... 3 or 4 core. Yeah it might move more water, but that's not always a good thing. Aluminum doesn't transfer heat like copper and brass do. It's kinda like the days of aluminum wiring... it caused more problems in the long run.

My radiator guy proved that to a guy from Maryland that was having overheating issues with his street/strip car... with an aluminum radiator. He recored his stock radiator it with the same core I have now. The guy said he was crazy, it wouldn't cool better than the aluminum would. So Dick said if it doesn't cool better than your aluminum radiator, it's free. They did the recore and the guy went home and put the recored stock radiator back in his car. Next day he came in and paid the money he owed. Said his car never ran so cool in all the time he owned it. So much for aluminum. True story right from 'The Man' himself... I did not make it up.
