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.

Looks like the general consensus is the ZD 3 core. Has anyone ever found a buildsheet up in the headliner? My car was a Norwood built 04C model.

Paul,
No build sheet on mine either but the pacer is a Norwood 04C also.

Paul,when I located the car it had a "cobbled up" 427, but still retained its original 837 alternator, 499 distributor, deep groove pulleys, harrison radiator, M-21
and rear. My M-21 is also P9D11B and the rear is BU0415G2.
I located a date correct JH motor and that has been installed.

Wow, both transmissions built on the same day! Cool

What are your dates on the Alternator and Distributor?

My L78 Burgundy convertible showed ZD on the chassis broadcast copy that came off the fuel tank (Van Nuys built), however the car had a curved neck radiator. Drivetrain is M20, 3:55 ratio.

LS6 RAT - Is it the original Harrison Radiator? If so, GM must of had a shortage of ZD radiators and substituted the curved neck 4-core.
