They are the best solution that we have today, i.e., US Radiator.
But, not perfect. Three complaints that I have are:
1st. The lower tank is not the same shape as the original
tank. If you use the crank to turn your engine during tune-ups
the bottom tanks are straight across and block the path. You
will no longer be able to use a crank.
2nd. The upper tank is not the same shape as the original tank.
Additionally the top of the new radiator will set lower in
the core support than an original tank.
3rd. The support brackets were not a good fit to the original
core support holes and were not soldered on the core straight.
I had to open up a couple of holes to make it fit.
As with the Chinese made items, just a little more effort
with their tooling and assembly fixtures and they would
have a perfect replacement part.
