Best Aluminum Radiator?? HELP

Good Aluminum Radiator ????

Well unless you find someone who has tried every brand you won't know. It's a subjective question. If your Griffin only lasted 4 years I'd be looking somewhere else. My all aluminum Summit radiator had worked perfectly for 10+ years. That doesn't mean it's " better" than Griffin, just that mine lasted longer.

After research, I believe it will be from Summit, they don't put there name on bad stuff...

I use the Champion/American Eagle aluminum. Has a lifetime warranty!

I have a Champion on my 56 with Vintage air. It cools real good even on hot humid days in traffic.

I've not had a bad experience with Summit branded products. And God knows I've spent a fortune there over the years.
