I flushed my radiator on my 62 Invicta last week with that flush stuff and now it is running hotter than it did. I think I loosened up some junk in there and it plugged it up worse.
Anyway, does anyone know where I can buy a new one for that car, or do I need to get this one fixed? It is very hard to find people that fix radiators anymore.
Thanks for the help.

What "flush stuff" did you use?

I think it was prestone radiator flush. I took the radiator out last night. Broke both trans cooling lines as the rad had never been outof the car before and the tubes were frozen to the nuts. So I am going to build some new lines for it.
Took it to a shop and the guy said it was 50% plugged, so I am sure when he gets done rodding it out, it should be much better. He said that it might start leaking after he is done. We will see.
I was on Radiator's. com and they don't have 62 rads. I have tried everywhere. I guess I could just try and find an alum with the right dimensions, if they can't fix this one. I hope I don't have to do that.
