Great sale you're having at ZIP and perfect timing for me.

I was on the phone last week talking to an old radiator guy a friend of mine recommended about installing a new core in my original radiator. Sounded promising, so I was heading out the door to take the radiator to him for the re-core job. My wife stopped me asked me what I was up to.

After explaining what I was doing, she gave me her opinion:

"I'm no Corvette mechanic, but I know when it's time to install a new Dewitts aluminum radiator."

Well, she was right! Sometimes you just have to stop, listen, and learn.

I installed a DeWitts aluminum radiator a few months ago. No problems, everything fit without modification. 70 LS5 coupe.
