[COPO]

3 core ZD is correct

[69L78]

My 12k original mile L78 with 4.10 gears has the 3 core.

69L78, could you send me some pics of the engine bay of your car. I am in the process of restoring mine and would like to take a look at the wire/hose routings, paint finishes, etc. My car is a 20K mile Lemans Blue M21 with 4.10 rear and original rear and trans, but the motor has been replaced with a warranty CE version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Paul

My 69 L78 pace car 4;10 car has the three core I know of a 18k gold L78 conv that has the curved neck radiator in it.

My 69 L78 pace car has a curved neck 4 core. M-21, BU 3:73. Was it optional or just used if the supply of 3 cores were short? Did L89 optioned cars also have the 3 core?

Man, this is some good info. Has anyone documented their 4 core radiator to the cars buildsheet, looking for a ZD or UY code? Keep the info coming!

The gold L78 is a 3.31 rear car. So it would appear to be a factory substitution (presumable due to shortage).

Paul,
Not sure what you are looking for, but I have documentation on several cars. All are ZD.
The gold car and Chris's car are the only exceptions I've ever heard of.

My 69 L89 Camaro has a 3 core ZE coded Harrison Radiator with a straight neck. It has been my understanding that all Copos and L34/L35 Cars (with AC) recieved curved neck. Also that all ZD and ZE code radiators are straight necks while all UY and UZ code radiators are curved necks.

Hope this helps......have a great weekend~

What is the difference in a ZD and ZE code radiator.... 3 core vs 4 core?

Thanks,
