94' LT1 Radiator Suggestions
I believe my radiator is starting to leak on the bottom corner of the passenger side. Not too shabby considering the car just hit 117k. Has anyone had any luck with a "tough one" or "Ready-rad" radiator from Advanced Auto or other local parts houses? I can't really spring for a dewitts at the moment. I see Rock Auto carries AC Delco but not really sure of the quality of AC/Delco parts anymore, every Delco part I have bought lately had China stamped on it, so why pay more for the same?
I appreciate any advice!

I put one in my wife's 92 from Advance. No problems with the part at all.

Perfect, thanks guys.
Diz- mine is a 6 speed as well. From what I can tell the rads for our cars have been a "one size fits all" for quite some time now. If I do end up needing to replace the rad I'll go the advanced auto route then.
Appreciate it!

Guys, turned out the radiator is fine. The lower radiator hose clamp was loose. Just for peace of mind I drained the coolant out of the rad, cleaned up the hose and mating surfaces, used new clamps when I reinstalled, and I also replaced the petcock drain valve as well just to be sure.
