There were 4 different radiators used in 79.


L-48 with or w/out A/C with 1 1/2" upper neck. Codes MK or MJ (3 core)

L-82 with or w/out A/C or L-48 with HD cooling with 1 1/2" upper neck. Codes ML (4 core)

L-48 with or w/out A/C with 1 1/4" upper neck. Codes FF, FN, FP or FR (3 core)

L-82 with or w/out A/C or L-48 with HD cooling with 1 1/4" upper neck. Codes FW (4 core)

The codes are on a metal tag on the rear side of the right tank (very hard to read in the car)
