Rad Support Conundrum

Kev · Post by **Kev** » Sun Jul 17, 05 7:22 pm

Had a mass debate about Alan's (Evil Black w/ Smoked Window on Centrelines) Charger rad support. The car is an R/T but the radiator aperture is smaller than on another (sorry didn't catch yer name) Charger R/T. What gives? Alan's aperture matched a 383 Charger's rad support (sorry didn't get your name either!)

Was one a '68 and the other bigger one a 69 or 70?

That is a 22" rad and support, did all R/T's come standard with 26"? or just with hi po axle packs and or A/C?

Sorry, mate! There were so many Chargers I can't remember! Does the Blue Block hold a clue?

It is probably what Alex said.

The other R/T belongs to Glen Biggs

HP440 cars did not automatically get the 26" Rad .

Cars without air could have had a 22.

my 68 GTX had a 22 , as does my 69 Coronet R/T

yep, RT's didnt automatically get it but Hemi equipped cars did (not that that is relevant) Mine is a 26-incher (

)

Colour may not be helpful.

Blue block is 68 big block, some Chargers could be ordered with the heavy duty radiator which has the bigger apeture rad support.

68 383 = blue
68 440 = turquoise
69 383 = blue
69 440 with one holley carb = turquoise
69 440 with carter (or later 3 holleys) = SH orange
70 383 - turquoise
70 440 - SH orange

Looks like that second pic is a 440 with 383 paint (or its a 383).

Engine size / trim didnt dictate rad size. 440's with AC got different rad to non-ac car (22 I think) (has someone said that?)

HP 383 motors in '69 were orange

69-71 they could be either I think.

They were turquoise if equipped with A/C IIRC
