Well if you read the stickies they will point you to the direction. Basically hit up a Autozone for a 1977 Pontiac Bonneyville with AC or without. They run for less than $30 and are easy to use.

Read the stickies and good luck,

Thanks. Only one I found at the auto places around me was a little over $70. I'll keep looking though.

Is there any difference if it has AC or not?

I do not know exactly but the one with AC allows you to cut off a bend on the barbs that enables you to use 1/2" ID tubing with no mods!

Just to clarify, the 77 bonneyville mentioned is for the copper/brass heatcore, not the actual car radiator.

that might be the price for the radiator. you might want to ask about the bonneville heatercore. that should be ~$20-30 depending on which autozone you go to.

I think im gonna wait on building my own system and get a kit for now. Tight on money and wanted to get one for -$100.

Anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking about this one:

a good hsf will be better then any water-kit out there for $100. If you are dead set on a w/c kit i would suggest the thermaltake bigwater. Other then that i say get a Ninjia hsf or the big typhoon.
