I'm aware of the "six month" rule for judging purposes, but I was wondering how close to the car's build date people are finding the date of their original, small block radiators..Thanks...

Re: '66 SMALL BLOCK RADIATOR DATING
While I don't remember the actual build date of my 66 L79 (sold four years ago), thhe VIN was in the mid 18000 range. IIRC the car was built around mid-April. I have the original radiator sitting in my garage and it is a Mar 66 stamp. The rad worked ok, just was tired and wanted to slightly overheat at highway speed.

Why not take a look...
at Noland Adam's survey data in his Vol 2 Corvette restoration book? You'll find a reasonable list there of rad dates vs. '66 car VIN numbers and you should be able to answer the question yourself...Comment
