Default Radiator help

I know that I need to replace the original 1968 radiator for a 302 4 barrel with air conditioning, it shows signs of slow leaks through minor cracking. I am struggling to determine which radiator in today's market is the proper fit, and provides the needed performance. According to the tech manual the part number for this radiator is C8ZE-F.

Any help is appreciated....

I just put a 69 radiator in my 66 and was intending to use 69 brackets to make it fit. They do not fit the Norther brand radiator and I suspected they would not.
If you want a direct fit for that car that uses the correct parts over then based on all my searching the only option that is quality AND will fit correctly with proper contours is the Griffin. sorry

I replaced mine with an oem style copper unit and I could sit in traffic for hours, AC cranking and it would never get above 205 running a factory flex fan out of a 77ish Cougar.
