    Upper radiator bracket to the core support

    In reviewing the hardware to attach the upper radiator bracket to the core support, I found a spacer plate that does not appear on AIM UPC 11-13, A5, where I would expect to see it. The spacer plate is 3 5/8” wide, x 1” tall x 0.25” thick, and has the stamping “6 1 2”, which looks curiously like a June 12 date code, which would be reasonable for my July build date car. Has anyone seen such a spacer plate before? If so, why does it not appear in the AIM?

    Or is this plate likely an addition made by a previous owner for some reason?

    PS The radiator I removed from my ‘66 L79 was a correct GM one, but had a 1973 date code, so replaced for some reason by GM seven years from when the car was new.

    Thanks,

    Gary

    Gary,
    Was the car hit in the front end?
    Repaired in a mostly undectectable manner?

    Would not be normal for a fan shroud to be replaced unless there were 'external events', they generally last as long and the other fiberglass.
