Delays, Delays. Radiator got tired. New one ordered.

After getting new points, and condenser,  adjusting the valves, timing, and getting the carbs
synched and adjusted so it could run under 1000 rpms- This happened...

Well, when it rains it pours- or gushes antifreeze.
The old radiator decided to pop a cork and start streaming antifreeze all over the garage floor.
I sent it to a local shop to see what it woud cost before dropping $170 for an aluminum radiator or 220+ for a new stock one.
The local shop looked it over and said "boiled, tanks removed , and leak fixed for $75"
Sounds good to me.

SOOOO- update.  ye olde local radiator shoppe says they would have to pull the tanks and plug off mininum of 2 tubes maybe more to stop the leak.  They say that at the 3 tube mark it starts affecting efficiency of the cooling system.  Not good during the Texas summer.  Not at all.
The other option it to have it re cored for $200 to $225.

So there is an aluminum radiator en route.  I saw the same one on a u tube video of a BGT race version so it must be decent.  It is supposed to have a drain in it which would be nice.
