In the 1969 Camaros..
...Did the "goose-neck" radiators come in the camaros
.....with Big Block motors
...and .....Small Block motors
...that had A/C ?

...or just the ones with the Big Block motors with A/C ?

I don't know all of the applications, but I have original goose necks in a '69 copo Camaro and a '69 BB Pace car exported to Canada.

I have seen a few original, factory installed 69 L78 Camaros built with the 4 core air radiator. But certainly not all. The 3 core was pretty standard on BB Camaros.

There is an oddly worded change to Camaro ordering info as of 1 April '69. If 3.73s or 4.10s were ordered, G80 Poitraction included "heavy duty cooling" and cost $56.90 rather than the standard $42.15.

Later COPO window stickers list positraction in this fashion; earlier stickers don't list it at all.

...So according to that info
....Only 396 with A/C
.....and COPO cars
came with these ( Goose-necked or curved radiators )radiators
...&quot;UY&quot; for manual transmission
...&quot;UZ&quot; for automatic transmissions

( NO SMALL BLOCK CARS )
....CORRECT?

I have a 4 core non curved neck radiator for my car and the tanks are coded OL and IL with a 1968 part number tag 3016688 but a date of 69 B. Im confused now...
