Sprint Radiator

Short answer: A 1968 Sprint (OHC-6) uses a single-core radiator — look for a metal tag reading “ZA” (the HD-cooling unit is “UF”). A 3-core from a 350 V8 fits the same location (the finger guard may not), and OHC-6s don’t use a fan shroud. Persistent overheating usually means a clogged or poor-condition radiator.

The “filler panels” go between the core support and the front bumper support; they came on 400 and A/C cars to force more air through the radiator instead of letting it leak around the bumper. Reproductions are available.
