The pricing sounds about right. I paid a little over $200 for mine, but I also upgraded to a V-8 3-core, that was a fair bit wider. Mine went in a 66 Valiant /6. Quality was quite good, finish was nicely polished, everything was straight, etc. Nothing here not to like. I also got the overflow bottle to go with it. Since I put it in, my temp gauge hasn't moved off the mark where the thermostat opens, no matter what the outdoor temps or driving conditions.
