Re: Need help - 69 COPO Camaro?
If you ordered a tach, and no console, or with console, but not gauge package, you got center fuel gauge. Auto without console, would have been column mount.
As for the curved neck radiator, the pic shows the neck to be clocked incorrectly. Factory curved neck was angled up at about 10-12 degrees. Not saying that one is not original, as it is possible that for some reason, the neck was resoldered. Clearly, that row of braze is not factory. Look for stamped metal radiator tags on either side and report your findings.
I have a repop radiator in my Yenko clone, and I had the radiator rotated and re-soldered at a radiator shop. Cost me $10.
That tranny crossmember is of the style of the TH400 crossmember, but I don't know enough about them to comment on its originality. However, that crossmember was only used with the TH400, and if you ordered a b/b auto, (396 or 427) you got the TH400.
