    You might want to consider buying a V8 Radiator, just to have the extra cooling capacity (if it'll fit an L6 car) These older Fords were notorious for having radiators that were too small.

    I Purchased a new one for my son's 72-200. He used it maybe a year before we swapped in a 302. The radiator is in great shape. $75 shipped to you.

    I got mine from AA too. It looks close to original. It said made in brazil. I got another one later for my Comet and it was made in china.
