Default 68 327 radiator components

car: 1968 327/350 4spd noa/c or pwr brakes

anyone bought new rad parts from volvette? it seems i was sent 2 incorrect parts. i'll be calling them tomorrow. the top bracket to hold the rad to the core support appears to have the u-channel pice welded onto the wrong side of the bracket. it appears to be upside down. if it were welded on the other side it would seem to be a perfect fit. i have it installed, but want to get it corrected asap!


i also need to find the top bracket for the rad support that mounts the fan shroud and the "L" brackets for the bottom of the fan shroud and the lower shroud, but i need the part numbers. volvette did not have them.

also, the lower rad hose is wrong, as it apears to have been tagged wrong. the part number on the tag does not match the part. the upper all matched and fit well. i hope they can fix these 2 items!

I don't know what that thing is they sent you, but it definately isn't right. Here's my '68 327 no a/c no p/b top radiator support:

Wish I could help. Mine were on the car when I bought it - luckily.
I'll try to do a search later today.
