Are new aluminum radiators better?
So my 66 dart overheated for the first time coming back from set. I threw on the heater to dissipate and made it home. I changed the thermostat to a 180 degree. After doing that I guess it changed the pressure because a nice sized hole popped and pissed coolant onto my leg which I then used JB weld to patch up. But since this is a workhorse car I need to to be more reliable than original so I was thinking I have the money I should just get a new radiator and new hoses and that would keep my slant cool for the coming summer months. And good ones out there you guys would recommend? Something preferably that wouldnt need any additional cutting that I could just replace it? thanks!
