Scott,
Your right. I did a bit more investigation. It looks like they skipped
some years. One system was apparently used from 62 through 67. The
"improved" system looks like it didn't start until about 1974.
Apparently radiators weren't important in 1968-1974??? My 1969 has one
,,,,,, thanks to the 1976 donor car I had.
