68 Z28 radiator tags
« on: October 03, 2008, 03:00:49 PM »
I've posted about this before, but I finally e-mailed and got a response from HBC.  I basically said that there wasn/t an IM code for any 1st gen Camaro and was told that this tag was made from an original that came off a 68 Z28.  I also said that he could check with CRG and see this isn't true.  I found an original radiator with the right month for my car and even the original core is good.  I'm just missing the tag.  I wanted to buy a repro, but all the one's I've seen look like this one.  I don't get it. ???

You're right, that's tag is incorrect. It's IH, not IM.

I guess I could send him a link to this thread?  The main thing is, I need one of these and all the knuckle heads sell the exact same one.  Think how many cars must have the wrong tags and don't know it.

I looked at the rad tag on my 69 Z28 from Los and the tag has       IH     UH
                                                                                              OD
                                                                                              67        O

Every one of these repop tags looks just like the pic.  I find it hard to believe that ALL of them are selling a part that isn't right for any car.  I'm just very confused that no one has pointed this out to them and/or they don't care.  >:( ???

Paul,
Can I get a pic of your tag? I've never seen one with 67 on it, all have had 59.
Wonder if Jerry has seen one like that..... :)

Kurt, do you know what the number means?  One of my loose tags has it.

Paul,
No hurry. Thanks!

Kevin,
I really don't. I had a couple of theories, but none of them seem to hold water....
