Default Radiator Codes?

Can someone decode these numbers off of my vette radiator and let me know the details?

Thanks!

Number on metal tab on front is: 19
0270718

Number on one of the end caps:
1P 718
M19287

Appreciate any help!

Cary

Neither looks familiar for a C3 GM part numbered radiator. Any metal tags with MK, MG FK...etc? What year?

There should be a metal tag with a two letter code on the passenger side tank of the radiator which identifies cooling system requirements for your vehicle. For example, a base radiator GM# 3035558 would have the code of MK. While a code of ML would be a heavy duty radiator GM# 3035856.

Not sure whether or not this is of much help. However, that metal code tag is how the radiators were originally identified.
