DeWitt's does it again!!
Last year I built a 383 stroker for the 60 driver. I installed the OE radiator, four blade fan - a clutch and and elec cooling fan. This combo was just not up to par. This car is driven in the winter in Arizona. Over the summer I purchased 2 DeWitts radiators, one for my 97 and one for my 60. I installed the 97 radiator with one hitch, the fill procedure calls for you to bring the temp to 210 shut down , fill etc. I NEVER got the car to 210, the headers were glowing. Stop and go Chicago traffic in the summer was not a problem. 
I am wintering in AZ and have had time to install the radiator in the 60. I ditched the elec fan and running the four blade fan in stop and go traffic in 75 degree days this thing barely sees 200 deg. A friend who builds street rods for a living let me use his shop for the install and just laughed when I said this is a direct bolt in with no mods. I believe I just created another DeWitt's believer because 45 minitues later we were road testing a much cooler and happier car. Thanks again Tom .

Thanks for the kind words. We've introduced many new products in the last two years but I think this one (A55M) is my favorite. It has become our top selling radiator and when we paint them black it just fools everyone into thinking it's the original. The two in the picture are the same radiator!
