I have heard that this was not so un-common. Many of the tanks had the same size and shape. If the supplier ran short on a particular part number tank they would just use the added tag to identify it.c 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

Quote: What i mean is has anyone ever saw a factory mopar radiator with a part # tag glued over where the original was. I have a 72 340 radiator that has that and have seen others.. anyone else? It is pretty common. If the vendor (18398 Blackstone Jamestown, New York, 20446 Blackstone Statford, Ontario) were making a different tank with the correct connection location, they would stamp out a tag to solder over the incorrect # and assemble the rest of the radiator with the correct parts. I have pictures somewhere on my computor of 6 differently shaped 2998956 overlay tags. this processes could have been done on almost any day of production. Tough to justify stamping out 10 tanks of any number with all the setup time involved. At least this is what my dealings have turned up. Bob
