Thats too much read'n! 
In my opinion all you have to say is "It works!".
Very cool writeup!
One of my favorite quotes from Joe Dirt:
How exactly does the posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work?
-It just does.

I like the way they look
I crossed America with a new De Witt's, on my 48 state trip. I almost died of the heat , 120 degrees, Palm Springs to Prescott AZ. Not a single problem with overheating of engine,
Now the car and me, that's a different story.

I like the unpainted look.

I'm a true fan of Dewitt's not just because the are the only game in town for a correct radiator that looks and just as important works like my original did in my 66 until it started to seep a little.
But I would like to share a recent experience, I just got my 66 back together after about a five year frame on restoration and I found coolant dripping down the rear center of my five year old Dewitt's radiator, not anywhere near a radiator hose. I thought the worst but checked the three hose connections and found no coolant.
I just knew I was about to another $800. on a radiator so I emailed Dewitt's tech line and asked if it could be repaired and I was told to check my Tower clamps again (as they were notorious for leaking) and if not send the radiator back to them for a NO Charge repair.
Well it turned out not to be the radiator but a very, very slow leak at the top hose connection that was fixed by a cheap screw clamp.
How many companies stand behind their products like Dewitt's just did with me? Not many, I've every met in this hobby!!
