Default 1991 Olds 98 Radiator Problem......

I need to replace my radiator, and I am having a very difficult time finding a radiator to fit the low coolant level indicator.... mine is not like most 91 Regency applications. I have gotten 2 radiators and they would not fit my LCI so I returned them..... I have posted a pic of what I need. What is it?

Does your car have the 3.8?

Does your radiator have an engine oil cooler?

Does your radiator have a transmission cooler?

Is your current core 30.5" tall or 28.25" tall?

Yes it has the transmission cooler but not the engine oil cooler....it is the Series I 38000. The core is 18 1/4 high and 30.5 long.........

They didn't use LCI much after that model and it'* considered obsolete by the aftermarket.

How about this, straight from the manufacturer:
