Sorry but I can't let this one go by. The Blackstone in my 85 245 lasted 18 years before the plastic neck cracked. The longevity is much better than some have experienced with the all metal radiators including the brand name Nissens. Aluminium is better for heat transfer and the quality of the Blackstone unsurpassed.
Look for the date code for one that is a year or 2 old, I believe if it is not stamped on it there is a stick on decal indicating it is a Blackstone.
