Well I installed the new radiator (went with an original replacement, which I got for a song!), added Water Wetter (thanks to forum advice), and the motor runs super cool!! Of course, that is without A/C (another issue) and the WX hasn't turned hot yet.
BUT . . . the interior gets pretty warm!!
Not a problem now (70s), but this summer (and high 90s) that will be a show-stopper. I know there are old threads that discuss this, and I will research them, but any suggestions of where to start looking?

This forum is worth its weight in Slick 50!!

Look for any openings in the firewall that are allowing heat into the
corkpit. Also shutoff valves on BOTH heater hoses are a must. There are
previous posts about both on here.

I have shut off valves on both hoses, makes a big difference. NAPA has them, one is 3/4" and the other is 5/8". They are nice and compact.
