Thanks for info on radiator. It seems that it has plastic tanks, anyone have experience with these as not the same as original metal tanks? But then again about $200-300 cheaper and newer cars use similar build.

But have a radiator leak on left side just below upper transmission connection. Was on a roll, but was told that rad might have a leave. Have tried some stop leak, but sourcing a radiator shipped to Canada. Amazing that I can order one from Houston cheaper than I can get on line from Canada.

Just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. Just ordered a PRO rad from Rock Auto and it is supposedly all metal tanks. It is on its way and we'll see what arrives.
