If you get one from a junk yard, you will be getting a used one that is probably no better than the one you have. You need to get either a new alumunum radiator, or a 3 or 4 row brass radiator.

I got the Northern aluminum 2 core. Never gets above 185 now. I also got it at a local radiator shop and installed it the same day.

Say, is that a Hurst Pro-matic 2 shifter you have? I have one and i'm having troubles with it.
