The 949 rad is for max cooling cars, ones I believe with optional axle packages. The 974 is for all others. Barry, is this correct?

Thanks Barry. Just my luck....lol. I'll register it when I move it from my basement to my new garage. I have the tag, but the sheet is MIA. It's a Hamtrmack car, numbers matching 340/727. FK5 with black interior. I've owned it since 79.

I know for 100% certain that the radiator I took out of it and put in the other car was a 3 row radiator. Is a 974 a 2 or 3 row? My car came with a 3.23 SG, but I don't know if that would be considered an axle package.

I only have 10 A66 broadcast sheets on file so far, all 10 show the 74 radiator.

Not all of them show the J54 hood.

Hopefully more A66 owners or folks with broadcast sheets for them either register or contact me.





Mine has the 74 Radiator and the J54 Hood. I think is late production 1970.

Great article Furyman I noticed the date 12/69 and the car is still wearing a Flat Hood ? There seems to be a few A66 cars showing up with wheel lip moulding also. Now I just need to see a few more with a Black grille. I guess it is good to keep our minds open when were dealing with these cars. It seems to me there are probably alot more of these cars running around that had a flat hood originally that now have the rallye hood also. Now how about the rear Torque Boxes ? did all A66 cars have them ? or just the 4 spd and axle package cars. Whats your A66 car have ? Thanks

First post of six, images from the 1970, 1970-71 & 1970-72 collision parts books. No mention of a 340 sticker at all & no mention of a 340 emblem at all for 1970 Challengers.




Not sure if I am helping or hindering, but I realized I had a ratty 70-71 parts book sitting on my shelf since about '84. It is from December '71. Here is the only part number listed for a "340 4 Barrel", and it was for the shaker. No mention that I can find anywhere else. It is interesting that it is listed as 3443 247, one number off the number on the back of the steel hood emblem. They also list 3 numbers for the Hemi- a single, and then a left and a right further down.

12/69 would mean that the car test and article was probably done in the August time frame.

From the article what the article says, the test was done the day after Richard Brickhouse won the 69 Talladaga 500 (September 14, 1969)

The PM article says the car has Rallye suspension. But the Car Life article says it just had 318 suspension and "predicted" the other magazine testing the car would omit or not realize that fact.

Paul Goldsmith worked for and drove for Nichels Engineering in 1969 who's primary cash cow was Chrysler Corp. It would be like Jeff Gordon trying to give you an unbiased opinion on a Chevy Monte Carlo. Probably worse than that.

I have a hood that has the 340 four barrel decals. I think they are in a little shape then the one on Pauls convert. Better color is all. I'll get a picture next time I go out to visit my cars. Good thread

Barry,
I do not have a build sheet but I do have a fender tag of my March built A66/J54 car. Would this tag info help any?
