I drove it (hard) down to the cars and coffee meet up spot this morning and the gauge would not exceed 50% so obviously the water flow is functional. I think either I found the limit of the cooling system and all the cars may run hot in this condition, or my system is partially compromised. I will probably pull the rad when I get a chance in the coming weeks. bottom line- it is 22 years old.

I suggest just a stock replacement. Like you said its 22 years old I did this a few years ago for gp. The fins has so much sand and silt in it not to mention the leafs, debris and other crap all affecting cooling. The plastic ends were swelled a little bit as well. Make a project out of it as its a great time to replace you belt and hoses while your there if needed. GC
