66 Radiator Support Question
Tried to pull the cam from my 66 327 non-air car and ran into some problems.
There are cross-bars on the radiator support that matched up dead-center with the cam, so I had to raise the engine. The sidepipes hit the frame, so I had to drop those... one thing led to another, and now the engine is out.
I was looking at the AIM for 66 and could not see the cross bars. So, I looked at various catalogs.. and found that there were 4 different radiator supports for 66... 327 w & wo air, 427 w & wo air.
Does anyone know which ones had the cross bars? All of them? My AIM does not show the cross bars.
My car has a wrong radiator in it as well... the upper hose & the fan belt rub.
Now is the time to straighten the mess out... so... how can I differentiate between the 4 different radiator supports?
Thanks
Tom

Re: 66 Radiator Support Question (wombvette)
Thanks guys... it sounds like the car does have the correct support... just a Bubba radiator.
I'l leave it alone and start shopping for a new radiator.
