Recore For Radiators
I have a source here in New Castle for SLK cores made in Phiadelphia, PA. If you're thinking of doing a recore I highly recommend these SLK cores. More tubes and more fin/sq inch. I had my 3 core recored with one of these about 2 years ago and it's been great. The owner of the shop says it's like having a 4 core radiator with out having to buy a new 4 core.
Shop is Wilson's Radiator Service on the intersection of Rts 141 and 273. Phone for the shop is 302-328-3593 or his cell # 302-897-9976. Ask for Dick Wilson the owner.

Here are a couple of photos of the SLK core installed. It actuall looks very close to the original 3 row stock radiator. The stock upper and lower tanks are still used. Sorry but I can't remember how many the stock 3 core has for tubes. This SLK core has 158 total, and many many more fins. These extra tubes are what make it the same as a 4 core.

Just saw your question Chuck. Cost was 410.25 complete. Competitive with ordering and shipping a new radiator out of any of the catalogs. And that's the main reason I did it locally with the SLK core.

I just saw Dick Wilson this morning at the autoparts store I hang out at. For his age he looked really good. I mentioned my GTO and the recore he did. He asked how it was running. I told him great..... He just smiled and said "that's how it should be".

May have to give them a call and see about the cost of getting my "59" radiator done. I know it has been a while since this post, will just have to call and see what is up.

An update on Wilson's Radiator service. He passed away and the shop is long gone. It's now a shop for potheads.
