Ditto and expect a string of dittos behind this one. They are very highly regarded on this forum and it's for good reason.

You're "selling the car soon". Do you still have the original? If so recore.
If you were keeping it Dewitts (I'm sure you have that read that before though
).

I'm doing a clients 68 BBC. You can see leaks in the core. I just pulled the rad. and took it down to a local shop to have a new 4 core soldered in.

Food for thought: have your original cleaned and repaired.
