1969 swinger 340 radiator number - 06/07/18 07:20 PM

I am currently working on my 69, 340, 4spd dart swinger. Can someone tell me what the correct original rad number is for that. 2949066?? Thanks Ryan

That would be for a heater car both trans. You could of had a 068 also.The really only way to know is a broadcast sheet. Do you have one?

That 038 radiator will only fit with a flat cap, DAMHIK! There are a few unscrupulous people who have taken off the top tank and made it look like an 033 big block A-Body radiator, bought one of eBay like that. mad I have an 066 and 068 restored by Glen-Ray in the box if you can't find a good one, but they are not cheap. wave

The 066 is the standard 2-core 340 radiator. The 068 is the heavy duty 3-core and is very very hard to find. It only came on cars with the 3:91 rear end or on air conditioned cars. I have a nice used 068 I'd sell, it's not as nice as a Glen Ray restored one but very decent for being an original 48 yr old part. Glen Ray can't get 3-cores new like the factory, so they take 2 new 2-cores, split one, and solder them together. They do a fantastic job with them but they aren't quite the same as the factory. I spoke to one of the guys there several years ago and that is what he told me. I think Glen Ray gets $1300 for an 068 if, and it's a big IF, he has one to restore!

I found and purchased a 068, weird thing is tho, it’s on a 2 core base and core. Original top and side mnts. Apparently was worked on prior to my dad purchasing the car in the early 80s. Has been sitting since.

Steve,
I think we had a miscommunication on core availability. I do a 3 row in that radiator every day and have done so for the past 30 + years. I don't have to "split" anything to do it. Our conversation must have got sidetracked or you must be confusing me with another shop had talked to about this in the past.
