Default What size aluminum radiator do I buy for a 1968 coupe?

Here I am with yet another question. I want to buy an aluminum radiator for my 1968 coupe. I've been looking at summit racing online and would rather buy a universal fit rather than a direct fit and save myself some $$$. Does anyone know what size universal I need to buy. I don't have my original radiator any longer or I could just measure it.
Thanks,
Jason

I could just go out and measure mine but all you have to do is measure the opening in front of the radiator. Ideally you want to completely fill this opening with radiator. In reality you can widen this opening. Take a tape measure and check the width remembering where other things might need to go in the future. The height is not variable within reason, you must remain within the original radiator height. Just remember that where radiators are concerned, bigger is almost always better.
