While at Funfest yesterday I noticed several 69 that didn't have expansion tanks. My car has a metal ribbed fan shroud and an expansion tank. the ones I saw had plastic shrouds and no expansion tank. What gives?

If I remember right the AC cars had a long skinny steel tank that was painted black. Maybe these were AC cars :confused:

1 car was an AC car, several were not. Mine is not an ac car. The person I rode up with hasa survivor 69 that is the AC car. Completely different radiator, shroud and no expansion tank.

My car has a plastic shroud and no tank. My car was a late 69 non AC car.

Mine has the long brass expansion tank (painted black) and no cap on the radiator. A/C cars only used this set-up. There were several radiator/tank combinations.. Base engine cars had an aluminum radiator. None had recovery tanks though.

Base motor '69's with 4 speed and no A/C came with an ~18" core aluminum radiator with an external supply tank. They had a ribbed metal shroud

L-46 smallblocks, or base motor cars with A/C and/or TH400 trans came with a 26" core copper/brass radiator with no external supply tank. The shroud for this combination was plastic.

Big block cars used a 27" copper/brass radiator with external supply tank. They also used the plastic shroud.
