Lots of info here: http://www.camaros.org/coolingsystems.shtml#usage

OL code appears to be a '67/'68 BB manual radiator.

Hi. Is there a small letter between the "O"and the "L"? I'm looking for one that has a "C" or a "D". Andy V

Help! I've been gathering parts to restore my 1967 O4C big block car for years now.  My radiator was damaged and discarded due to an accident back in the '70's. I need the "OL" coded tank for the right side. Do I need a tank that is coded with a "D" (for April),or can I use one with a B,or C to still be historically correct? What has been seen on other original radiator cars? Thanks,anybody,Andy

Probably C or D. Noone would probably notice if it was a B. :)

Thanks,Kurt. That's about what I was thinking. HBC offers a repop.(dated with a B)  Guess I should really look for a C or D. Anybody out there have an extra one?
 I guess there may not be much info gathered on radiator dates,or I would have seen more replys to this posting. (I've asked on other forums,too) So... anybody with original rads care to share how their dates compare to their cars build? I'm interested in big blocks due to the more limited number,but others engines may be helpful to get some reference points from.  Thanks :)

I'm in the same boat as 4P-01, missing the OL tank but I have the IL tank so if you eventually want to sell the OL tank there will be buyers so don't discard it. What's the date on it?

Martin, the date on the radiator that I will be replacing the tank on is coded with a "B".  However, it is from an automatic trans car and is coded "O N".  The left tank is coded correctly. I was told it is a firebird rad.

That's the only usage of ON that I've seen - 69 Firebird, 400 auto, 4 core. Bet somebody in the Firebird world would want that tank.... ;)

IL was used in lots of BB and 400 applications - that's the easy to find tank.
