Finally got around to installing my new radiator from Entropy Radiator.
Had a factory style 4 row core 23" radiator (no tag) that began leaking at one tube so rather than dump $$ in old school stuff, I went for the direct replacement aluminum 23'' two row, 1" tube design. Not a fan a bling but the dull aluminum is about as good as its going to get. I even considered having the thing anodized black.

Just as Tony from Entropy told me it would fall into place and it did even with factory off set style "814" fan shroud. Entropy is in the Chicago area I believe. I was hoping I could get some feed back on these guys from someone in Chicago but got no response before I bit the bullet. But all went well .

Now , its almost winter here and no way to see what temps will be like. I presume it would have to be at least what my old radiator did which was usually 100° above any ambient temp.
Well it shouldn't be too long before PowerTour 2011 starts.

I've never heard of Entropy but it looks nice. How do you like the angled fill & is there a reason for it?

Noticed the angle fill neck, it seems it would cause an air pocket . Time will tell.

Entropy is in Chicago somewhere. If its made in USA, thats good enough for me.

The shop is off of Austin north of North Ave,Chicago address, east of Elmwood Park.
he says he welds em up in house,looks vary nice but will know more this summer.
i had the smaller(20.75") rad, so i had to buy a shroud & upper hose for a 67-68

for the $180 original.

Looks nice Don. You certainly won't be able to overfill it with the angled filler neck.
