Radiator Leak

[rp23g7]

Is there anyone that lives around seattle able to braze a radiator? or know of a good place to take it?

The leak is on the inside right where the tank is attached to the core, its on my sons, (GASP) 79 Monte Carlo.

You can solder this yourself. I did this exact repair on my Duster. You can get all the materail from Radio Shack.

I didnt realize regular solder could hold radiator pressure. Or is it special solder?

I saw radiators being made on "How It's Made" on Discovery or TLC last week. They use plumbing solder.
