Most curious, if you look at their site the rad number you have is not compatible with your car according to them.

Compatible With

Dodge Challenger 1970-1974 (all small blocks)
Dodge Charger 1968-1973 (all small blocks)
Dodge Coronet 1968-1973 (all small blocks)
Plymouth Barracuda 1970-1973 (all small blocks)
Plymouth Belvedere 1970 (all small blocks)
Plymouth Roadrunner 1968-1973 (all small blocks)
Plymouth Satellite 1968-1973 (all small blocks)
Plymouth GTX "small block" 1968-1972 (all small blocks)

And again according to their site you should have a CC526.

Champion doesn't spec a 26" radiator for the A-bodies, but they did come with them.

I have a Champion CC374 in my '74 Duster as well. 26" 3 core. When I installed it I did use a dead blow hammer to make a little more clearance on the bottom support, but I just figured that was because the lower support on my car was a little tweaked. It clears with the whole paint stick method now, and clears the hood. It does sit up a little taller than the radiator support though, maybe a 1/4".

I also added the Dilinger lower support brace, but I left the original in place. As far as the tubular lower brace, I think you'll have to have it made or make one yourself with Dilinger and XV both out of business.

This is how my Champion radiator sits in mine
