Title: Radiator petcock
Post by: NED on February 13, 2008, 01:24:16 AM: On the original petcock on 67 camaros did the ear openings face towards the engine or towards the radiator? If I have it straight the repops are opposite of the original. Thanks Bill

The "ears" are in the right direction

Do certain year Corvettes use the same petcock and are there good Corvette reproductions available?

Thanks,

Yes! 67, 68, & 69 all point the same direction. :)
