Default Radiator Question?

Hey All,

I have a 79 L-82 and the engine bay is pretty bone stock.. The rad i have is slowly leaking.. I am looking to replace it but want to know what kind i need to get to keep the engine bay looking original.. Any info would be great thanks.

DeWitt's (www.dewitts.com) has an excellent aluminum "Direct-Fit" replacement - #A77A (for automatics) or #A77M (for manuals); both have significantly more cooling capacity than the stock radiator. You might also post in the C3 Forum for other alternatives.
