Geno - We had this discussion on another site. I gotta say, if in doubt, don't worry about it on a '69.





Based on the cars I've seen (and I certainly haven't seen them all), the parts book, and especially the factory's engineering graphics, I don't think a cooler was used in any '69 hemicar. If nothing else, there are quite a few original/survivor cars that never had one.

I'm guessing the Federal-style pump must have been a little less susceptible to overheating problems than the Saginaw, plus they definitely slowed the pump down with a larger pulley diameter on the Hemi's. With all that, maybe there wasn't a need for a PS cooler?
