68 Corvette radiator Question

[Kurt B.]

Can anyone please e-mail me some digital pictures of the CORRECT radiator for a 68 with L79 motor (327 cid /350 horsepower) with Air Conditioning?
I purchased my car in 1972 and don't know if I have the correct radiator and the AIM and several books I have do not seem to help. I knew the original owner and I don't hink ther radiator was replaced.
I do not have an expansion tank under the fender either. Should I have one?
I seem to think I read somewhere that A/C Corvettes in 68 didn't use them.
Thank you,

The 68 small block radiator with A/C did not use an external supply tank. The radiator was a Harrison copper/brass type of GM #3008567. This part number may or may not be found on the right side tank or elsewhere on the radiator. If original, the radiator will have the word "Harrison" embossed on the right side tank.

This radiator has a core width of about 26" and it has a filler cap on the right side tank.

If your radiator matches the above description, the chances are that it's an original radiator or an original replacement radiator.

Mine is also a 327/350 with air. I do not have the expansion tank. I am not sure it is the original radiator, and plan to check based on Joe's info. If you want a digital photo or two, drop me an e-mail.
