Alan did this curved neck radiator come out of one of your Novas?

i noticed on the crg site that they have noted production exceptions in radiator application and installation on the assembly line... i wonder if that was a possibility on the nova line as well?

I have never heard of a Nova 4 core curved neck...I guess anything is possible. What is the month letter between the C and H and how does that relate to the production date of the car. Is the top rail of the radiator original or was this unit re-cored at some time..??? I still don't think Novas got those curved neck units...but ya never know https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

the radiator which is pictured came out of my 69 nova L-78 auto car, it is an original drive train car that is dated 07D. i believe the motor has one 840 and one 691 head, both F-9 dated, interestingly enough the motor came with a B dated 499 distributor. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

i forgot to mention that from the pic's it appears that the radiator is C dated, does the top piece on the radiator or mounting brackets on the side of the radiator appear to be nova or camaro?

you're right about the head number...
the letter code on the radiator appears to be a c from the pic, it is a little bit blurry. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
