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?
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.

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.

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?
