Mc Cord radiator
 

I have been working on a 1929 chassis with a McCord R-5000 radiator. Can anybody give me information about this radiator? It seems to be clear with no obstructions. I guess my question is whether this is a decent radiator or should I look at replacing it.
Thanks for the help.

McCord goes back to the early 20th Century ( pre WW I ) and was an original supplier of Model A radiators... you could have an original radiator.

If you can post some photos, you might get some more feedback...

If it works, use it.

Frank is correct on the fact it could be original. I have an original McCord radiator, that at some point I am going to have recored. Also there is evidence that McCord may have supplied the original head gaskets for the model A. I never pass up a NORS McCord head gasket at swapmeets, espacailly the early part #'d one like is shown on Vince's website. Rod
