    One question, my 68 and the build sheets from other 68 GS400's show an SE radiator but that does not show up on in the 68 list, only the 69
    See post 52 for a list that I posted.

    It's a pdf file. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader or similar program. Any desktop computer should have this program already, or are you trying to open it on your phone?

    I'll try the laptop later on.

    ...I don't have a good answer for you Mike. Those SEs post-date latest available '68 Assy Manual and are all from Wilmington, so either something to do with Wilmington plant or most likely since it was late in model year, Buick may have already started using '69 SEs for 400 automatics. I recall Duane mentioning this possibility. We would need lots of end-of-year data for each plant to prove/disprove this assumption, which I doubt exists at this point in time...

    ...Mike, do you know if the 3 Wilmington '68 SEs were automatics? That would jive with '69 spec and assumption about very late '68s. '68 thru '71s with manual trans were spec'ed for SF (no trans cooler). The only other radiators I could see this happening to are SJ and SS. SS was used in '68 and not again until part-year '71. SJ was used in intervening years. I'm trying to see if I can document something intelligent about this...

    I finally was able to locate the SE tags some people were wanting.
    The SE, and SK tags are available if anyone is interested.
    Thanks

    Any idea what application this NX radiator is it seems thick like a 4 core. It has IA and AJ tanks. And is same over all width and height as a SW I have.

    It’s a 4 and 3 core tank radiator.
    The actual number of tubes is 3.
    The 4 core passenger side tank is for accommodating the larger Transmission coolers.
    I will see if I can narrow down the application for NX.
    The AJ embossed passenger side tank is used with some Pontiac and Chevrolet applications.
    Hope this helps.
