Hi not sure which radiator I need . It's. A 340 automatic 1970 non air but looks to be  a 22 inch if any one has the top tank they would like to sell me  .p.s i in Australia.I Have call glen rays radiators with no luck at this stage .cheers  :australia:

Is the car a BS or BH in the vin #?

From what I've seen, 340 cars have the 26"

I can't recall if the core is what you measure for the width or the end tanks?

A  cuda BS car I think if I had an air condition car . Or a different axle package it probably would have got the 26 inch radiator. I don't think  it makes a difference if it's a BH or BS car  . :australia:

Correct be if I am wrong. But if it left the factory with the 26 inch radiator,would it be stamped on the fender tag ?

What I've learned is that all BS cars got the larger rad regardless of with or without A/C   
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong..

 In my Challengers, my car with the 22" radiator has a slightly larger opening in the radiator support opening - about 22.5". In my Challengers with a 26" radiator, the opening is about 26.5". Is't this true in the Barracudas/ Cudas? It would be a guess only if the support side pieces had been changed during restoration.

I get my car back tomorrow and I will check the open of the radiator support panel :australia:
