Can someone please give me the best recommendation in regards to buying a new radiator for my 1930 Model A.

My vehicle overheats very quickly (after driving it about 20 minutes) no matter how I use the spark lever and gas. . .
I've put in a four bladed fan . . . did not work.
I changed the spark plugs and made sure they were gapped properly.
Timing seems to be okay.
I tightened the fan belt . . . did not work.
I added a temp gauge to keep an eye on the temperature.
I've looked in the "MAC" catalog, "Berts" catalog and Bratton and needless to say, there are a number of choices.

Looking for other advice.
Thanks in advance.
