radiator help
My car runs a little hot with the stock rad that is probably original to the car. 84' also just swapped to a 350 slightly built. I found a local radiator shop with a all aluminum 2 core. SILLA brand. payed to much for it from what i can tell but that's another story.
should I even bother with installing it as if i put fluid in it i cant take it back. will this help any thing at all over stock. it is thinner than my stock one is as well.
the actual part number i have is 0918-2aa
here is a ebay listing that has my part number correct.

Re: radiator help
If you have doubts, return it.
Can you give a descript of the over heat issue?
Such as--
Replaced thermostat, flushed & filled system with proper mix, fan(s) good, all hoses are good & firm, lower rad hose does not collapse under acceleration, water pump condition, ...
I would * think * you have the right part #.
From what I can tell,
0918-1 is a 1 row
0918-2 is a 2 row
IDK what " AA " would mean other than maybe Automatic Trans cooler??

hoses are good and new 2000 miles
electric fan is good motor is a year old
pump is good and new 2000 miles
i would drive in 70 degree weather and the temp would start to go up. stop then start the car and the temp would go up about 10 degrees and not cool back off.
had my uncle back my timing up and run the car lean and that seamed to help a little with the cooling and then with the 180 thermostat i run at a consistent 200 which i think is actually 190.
