If an aftermarket replacement will be okay for you, try this place. His name is Jim, & he will do mail order, but I've only picked them up in person so far.

I've bought at least 6 or 7 radiators (not for the same car) from him over the last 25 years.

Err on the side of bigger even on a low-perf car. 

Modern gasoline runs the motors hotter than the old stuff just by definition.  Even when everything in the motor/cooling system is working fine.

The 26 inch core is an excellent start, do you have a good local rad shop that can recore it with some sort of high efficiency setup?

[mopar0166]

I havent really looked into recoring it, becuase i figured by the time i did that i could buy a new one for about the same cost

That wasn't my experience but it could be one of those things that varies a lot from area to area.  Might be worth checking just to make sure though.
