Default Dewitts radiator tube size.

I see that Summit Racing list a Dewitt's rad with 1 1/4" tubes, but I can't find it on Dewitts website.

DeWitts radiator goes another step and offers a two row core with 1.25" tubes or (2.5") tube-to-fin contact and this would again exceed the peformance of a 4-row imported core design.

Call Dewitts and tell them what you need, quote the price you have and they will ship it out to you as soon as they make it. It worked for me and I was more than happy. I could not believe the workmanship.

Listing every option we make is a lot of work, being that we have natural and black finish, manual and automatic, with or without fans and then you add tube size and we could have a dozen part numers for the same application.

There is a method to the madness...
Our part numbers actually mean something in calling out the features

The first number 1= basic radiator 4= fans 6=LS series configured
Second number 1=natural finish 2=Black Ice
Third number 3= 1.0" tubes 4= 1.25" tubes

So, you could change the 1139070A with 1" tubes to
1149070A. Same radiator with fatter tubes. This options adds $125 to the list price.

Let me know which model you want and I will create a number and post it on the website
