Why replace? If the top and bottom tanks are good have it re-cored. I can’t speak for what goes on in California. But here on the east coast we have plenty of radiator shops. The stock radiator in good condition was properly sized, it worked then, it will work today if in good condition. Global warming has yet to make larger capacity radiators necessary on antique automobiles.

i’d add old radiator to that , corrosion in tubes or someone painted it with normal paint . Sometimes back flush with right type air / water gun made for that helps .
Every time i had overheating , after a lot of messing around and theories a new radiator fixed it ,
Big $ now , but way it is

Mike-
Generally speaking a car that runs hot on the road has one of two problems. First is inadequate coolant flow through the radiator because of a clogged radiator, collapsed lower hose, or less frequently, a worn impeller on the water pump. The second is inadequate airflow through the radiator because of an improper fan, a malfunctioning fan clutch if so equipped, or a missing or improperly installed fan shroud. The fan blades should be roughly half-way inside the shroud.
Yes, improper timing, too lean a mixture and similar matters can contribute to overheating, they sound good but are almost always not the problem. Like much in life, it’s the simple stuff that needs correction. Start with water & air flow first.

I left the K with my mechanic for a couple months when I was away. He installed the new compressor and recharged with R134. Car overheated badly so me added a couple of ugly electric fans ( without telling me). It cools well now but chronically runs right up at the very top of the range on the temp gauge. He tells me the radiator must be bad....
Car lives in NY and it certainly has been hot this summer but that is why we have AC. Do the wise folks here have any insights? Live with it? Replace radiator ( seems ok to me)? I suppose I would be ok with the fans as car is certainly not perfect anyway but as they hardly work, more seems in order.
Thanks all

The eBay rebuilder certainly looks like a solid supplier. Good find.
I have batted 1000 with Original Air for various product and services, and my buds have all had good business with them.

Folks
I went to my mechanic to get our key updated to our 134 refrigerant and I was told that the old York AC compressor is no good. He told me that replacements were impossible, and that the best solution was to convert to a modern AC system. I have done that on my age, but this car is so original that I hate to think about tampering with that. On the other hand, it's sure nice to have air conditioning! I'm confident that someone in this small world of Chrysler crazies has had this experience too and has some wisdom to impart. Thanks in advance.
