Are we referring to a D1 here?
If so and before spending money take the time to clean the radiator and condenser matrix's.
Now that is not just a cat lick wash!--it means removing the top fan shroud section, finding some tools like a couple of 13mm wrenches and removing the top radiator support brackets. You can then push the radiator back to observe the hidden cavity where leaves, and junk waste paper like fast food wrappers dwell.
Clean with soap and a gentle hose pipe, (pressure washers bend cooling fins).
Better still wander into a professional A/C supplies shop and ask for foaming coil cleaner. This stuff once sprayed and and left will eat dirt off the matrixers and then rinse with water.
Buy enough and you can then clean the condenser sections of the your household A/C system if you have one at home. That will save you a bundle on electricity charges to boot!
A copper /brass D1 radiator is close to about $800 for the real thing even cheap Chinese one is close to $400, reason enough to take care of it.

An indy rad shop near me does them carry in for about $75. Rule of thumb is no more than 10F difference between top and bottom rows. Fans running should suck paper towel against grille. You can mount fan blade reversed, or replaced AC condenser fans can be wired wrong polarity. And belt route of course.
