Maybe there is crud in the passages in yours and a new one would help.
24 years and 196,000 miles is a lot if yours is the original radiator.
Unless yours was replaced sometime along the way. Difficult to tell without records, another reason for you to try and get them

How Long Will a Radiator Last - With proper service |
Wow have to read that
I would like 85
its much better for the engine
100/110 is not good
it will wear the engine faster
Enrique said the new radiatirs are suspect
said he had to put 2 int a car before it got better
With crappy parts its hard to figure whats wrong
He says the thermo he installed is better than the old
has some whatever that keep its from sticking better
I'd like to know how to access this myself
Will have to feel the radiator better
it was hot
seemed hot at least on top evenly
which means it is circulating
Will have to feel bottom hoses
then again I don't know if its being pumped back into the engine OK
I will have to stick on it
Ole Euro is counting on me
& we have places to go
