68 Z28 radiator tags

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.

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....
