The silicone appears to be the culprit, DOT 3 or 5

Do you have the crossmember 180 out?

Does the radiator have the factory metal tag on it?

I believe the fan shroud is 1 piece and does not have an upper and lower section. Is the radiator original as well as the shroud?

Well, the salesman would always be right.

Well, I get to be right every once in a while-reply #2. The hose typically fails internally and just blocks off all fluid flow. Is all good?

Boomer,
It looks like the black is full gloss to me. Pretty looking parts sell alot. Based on the poor quality of reproduction everything today, assembly line parts are definitely the best way to go, because they will fit the 1st time. Looked up a set of NOS-- not cheap.

I guess we'll never know what top experts looked at the car.

Well, if no fluid came out of it after taking off the steel line, id be willing to bet thats your issue.

Facebook marketplace and ebay are your best bets for NOS. Eventually you should make a connection but it all depends what you need. Since your goal is the Nationals, stick with the original parts on the car wheneverand wherever possible. NOS does not always replicate assembly line parts 100%. There might be a stamp missing, crimp not on a part,  updated design, etc. Before you buy a single part, you need to contact Steve Shauger at "Vintage Certification" and have your car inspected. His team can determine what is original and not original parts to your car. Original parts properly redone always score higher.

I take joy in knowing the last know convertible (for now) is a 6 cylinder.

He could be too busy certifying Z/28s to reply.

Looks like an aviation application for wire tie.

Thanks William for the post.
Not 1 single attached document photo, but hey, you get a reproduction plaque.

Well, call me forgetful for not using the correct terms for these parts. Let's try this.
