radiator install

Well, I finally got my new radiator installed today.
I've been running an old stock copper / brass radiator for 30 + years and it finally started to leak. Local rad shop wanted $750. to re core it.
After talking with a lot of local hot rodders, they recommended going with a 4row aluminum radiator. The idea is with the heat here, it was go big or stay home.
Anyway, I got a great deal from Summit racing on a 386037. Cost me $340.00. I did have to make up a 1/4" spacer to go between the core support and the radiator otherwise the radiator would rub on the cross bars in the core support.
So any way, its in and no leaks. Tomorrow I will take it out for a test run.
Wish me luck.
