I have a 1966 Olds dynamic 88
and the radiator developed a leak in the seam on one of the tank seams. I
tried the local shops and they had a new replacement but it would not be the
exact same as the old one (the new one may have the filler neck in the
middle not on the side). So I decided to recore the original one at Kent
Auto airconditioner in Nanuet NY and it is perfect! I painted it semi gloss
black with some hi heat paint and my 66 is feeling groovy man!
They repair and test it under pressure! Call them and they may know a shop
near you.

Mark,
I am looking for advice on where to get find a replacement. Or should I
take it to a local radiator shop for a rebuild?
Take it to a local radiator shop that you trust. The shop will either rod
out the tubes in the core or replace the core. That's all that's wrong
with your radiator, the core is plugged and/or corroded over time. The
core will be resoldered to the headers and the tanks resoldered to the
headers. You'll have a new radiator, for all intents and purposes.
