Radiator just died. Repair or replace?

[lone73]

Would like advice from those that've "been there done that" on whether it's advisable to keep repairing my old radiator or put in a new one. Fixed it once already, about 60K miles back.

Are there any advantages to the aluminum radiators or are they just a looks issue? Do the shrouds and seals still fit with one in place?

Where's the best/cheapest place to get one either aluminum or a cheapo copper unit?

This car is my work car right now. I am more into function than form at the moment. If a new one is megabuck expensive I might just get it fixed again.

Thanks

Check at www.tld-corvette.com. They were less than $200 for my 77.

Since yours is a 4 speed ... you can get a UNIVERSAL fit aluminum 28 x 19 or 31 x 19 for under $160 ... it has two rows of 1" tubes. It'll outcool anything else ... not for looks ... same as we run on circle track car. It is Universal so you'll have to do a bit of fitting. Lots of threads here at CAC on this issue.
