DeWitt radiator fits fine
First--thanks to Pilot Dan for his suggestions. I measured the entire front end one side against the other, took a close look at the bolt holes both on the radiator and the cradle support. Everything looked square as much as I could tell. So the lower discharge pipe was hitting the stabilizer bar that goes across the front. It had to fit so I took a chance and carefully shook the (expensive) radiator and it cleared the bar. Dropped right in This thing is a work of art. Thanks again to the forum. 59 navy

Great , thanks for the update. Happy it worked out well for you 
You will notice the car will run much cooler in the heat and traffic with the aluminum radiator v. the old copper one.
