Is there anyone reproducing radiators fot the 1969 Coronet R/T with a 4-speed?
When I bought the car it had a bad radiator and it had the automatic transmission fittings.
Currently, I have an aluminum radiator in the car, but I am lookin for sonething that looks more correct.
You should have a 2949054 26" radiator and it will have cooler ports in the lower tank. From the factory, they were plugged for 4-speed cars. Check your old radiator, it could have been the correct one, if not, contact Glen Ray as suggested above.

The 055 was the standard radiator for the 4 speed with 3.54 gears. The 4:10 gears got the 054 radiator. The 055 is not that hard to find as it was used in A/C cars too.

Doug, The parts list shown doesn't differentiate between A33 and A34 cars for rads. - how do you know that 4:10's get the 054 and not the 055? I believe you are right, just wanting to know more. blue

451,
You never mentioned if your R/T is an A33 or A34 car, but if the pic. in your original post is the car in question, it looks like you have manual drum brakes, which would indicate the A33 Track Pack, A34 includes mandatory power discs. After seeing that pic I would lean towards the 2949 055 radiator.

Yes, the car was an A33 Track Pack with 3.54:1 Dana 60. It also was a non-fresh air car, but some previous owner install a 4.10 Dana 60, and the N96 fresh air system even though I believe it is from a 1970 model?
It has the 11"x3" manual drum brakes, and I updated them with the 1970 self adjusting brake hardware.
The car is a nice 20-foot car, but everything needs redone. Right now it is a decent car to cruse around in and take to shows, but the valve seals in the 440 must be shot as it is burning oil. I am planning on doing a slow multi-year restoration on the car, saving the body work for last so I can enjoy driving the car each summer.

Doug, without a broadcast sheet a 055 or 054 COULD be correct although the 054/max cooling is the option. Im putting the 054/max cooling package in my R/T since I have no sheet and an Az car could easily have been ordered with it, beside I need the extra cooling

After Doug posted the broadcast pic's last nite, I went to my file folders and found a scan of 2 69 charger R/T buildsheets I have, both are A33 & 440 cars and both are coded "55" for the radiator.
I wish I could scan them, but apparently our scanner is on the fritz, anyway, I would love to see a sheet for an A33 car coded for a "54" rad.
Doug or 6bblgt, ya got any thoughts?

Dave, I understand why you would go that way but the Max cool package with 054 was not an option that could be ordered by itself. It came as a part of another option group such as trailer towing or the gear packages. Max Cool was also standard with the Hemi and A12 cars.
However...never say never. I would like to see a BS from an A33 car that shows 054 instead of 055.
Happy New Year to all

Doug, can you show me where the max cooling could not be ordered as a stand alone package, it did have its own designation, N51? I cant see why it could not have been ordered by itself.

Better yet Doug do the sheets you have for the A33 cars show N51 and N65?

Dave, you're asking me to prove a negative and that's not possible.
Not all build codes, such as N51, are options that can be ordered by a customer.
If N51 was an option that could be ordered, it would show up in the data book, the salesman book, pricing updates, window stickers and the options and accessories report with cost as appropriate.
I can think of a couple of other build codes, such N97 (noise reduction), that show up on the BS but were not options that could be ordered. The incusion of the components indicated by the build code were triggered by other factors in the construction or sale of the car.
