Re: 61 Overheating - Radiator?
Jerry -
Regardless of what appears to be the original radiator, that car came originally with a Harrison stacked-plate aluminum radiator, which is distinctively different than a conventional copper/brass radiator, and a copper/brass radiator has significantly less cooling capacity. Can you post a photo of the "original" radiator and one of the Cal West aftermarket radiator? It's not the head gaskets - they all have smaller coolant holes than the holes in the block and heads, as designed-in flow restrictors to balance coolant flow front-to-rear.
