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!

Just get a 22 inch aluminum oneSo 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.Just get a 22 inch aluminum one
I guess with the high cost of shop rent and online stuff from “china” beats the little mom n pops out of business.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.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE IN LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Al, I didn’t even check the tag when I got the car, so I’m a knucklehead as much as the seller is.!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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

The number is under the coolant decal about 8" from the driver side fender bolt.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.

Alan, that’s amazing and I’m ashamed. I didn’t check it. I have the car since Friday. Ha ha haBingo! tag confirmed.

The car was for sale with a picture of a tag not belonging top this car, apparently the sell posted a picture of a tag thinking it was for this car, even when it was pointed out that it was the wrong tag the seller didn't doublecheck.Good work Al! Congrats JC!
Refresh my memory, why did "we" think it was the wrong tag in sellers thread?

Yeah, probably does go behind the alternator correct, I didn’t notice how close it looks now that you brought it to my attention. It’s further away than it looks, but I’ll move it. I got rid of the exhaust leaks by the manifold fixed all the broken bolts. I decided to keep the mufflers for now they’re pretty shot and have a couple holes in them, so I have 18 inch replacementsMoving right along! Definitely look for or make a shroud. Heater core bypassed for any reason?
I would be tempted to move the fuel line away from exhaust manifold. They usually come up by oil dipstick.
Fyi , I'm not nitpicking

but for now they work for me.
I’m in Arizona everybody’s heater Cores are disconnected, so until I drop the heater box, I will not know whats wrong with it.
I may test it and put it back on, but I will never use it here. Or maybe buy a new one after i clean the box up.
Man, every time I touch anything on this car it drops tons of rust.
My garage garbage can is very heavy ha ha ha thank God I’m not restoring it cause it would need a lot of sheet. metal.
A lot of you guys are gonna hate this but I patched each floor with sheet metal and rivet patches. I don’t have a welder and I’m not gonna give it to somebody to do just to make a driver, but here are some pictures of the patches, I’m gonna por15 over them And throw Carpet down, Not trying to hide anything just patch it for now so there’s no holes. The drivers rocker is gone, but they do make it repop.
