Nice find! Those valve covers look just the ones I recently fixed up and painted to match my car. I also don't know who made them, but I like them a lot!

I have the original radiator out of my 68 That you can have for $100 shipped. It had a small pin hole in the top tank which I soldered but decided to go aluminum instead. Both hoses connect on the drivers side. Let me know

So I got a good and warm yesterday for the first time and the top of the radiator seem is been butchered with some two-part epoxy and nobody in my town does radiator repair and I’m not buying a $2500 Glenray for this thing so until I find somebody to fix it I guess I’m gonna have to try and fix it myself or get one of those crappy aluminum jobs for 150 bucks oh well

Yeah, I don’t think the 26 even came in our cars unless it was bb or hemi i think.
was just curious in case I found one.
sucks I got a good radiator. I can’t get it repaired from somebody local.
Back in New York there was radiator shops every 5 miles

Around where I live all the radiator shops closed. The one that re cored my original 15 years or so back guy retired shut the shop down.

I guess with the high cost of shop rent and online stuff from “china” beats the little mom n pops out of business.
What a shame

!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE IN LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That IS that the tag to the car, it isn't the tag that was in the listing.
This tag IS for a 68 340 4-speed Fastback

To confirm you just need to compare the SO number to the core support number.
Should be B8B 102798

Al, I didn’t even check the tag when I got the car, so I’m a knucklehead as much as the seller is.
It sure is a BH29 tag!
where are these numbers? I gotta match it on the core support?
Are they right behind the radiator?
Man i owe you one!

The number is under the coolant decal about 8" from the driver side fender bolt.
There is a second one in the rear under the trunk weatherstrip near the driver side hinge.
