Canadian cars lack Harrison logo on radiator and heater core tanks?
Permalink  

One person has told me this, and the leaky heater core I pulled has plain tanks, but no guarantees it's original.

My rad has plain tanks too, but before I get them recored, I'd like to make sure all the tanks are correct from an authenticity judging standpoint.

It's a 65 Impala, but it should be the same as a Canadian B body Pontiac in this regard.

As far as I recall, the Canadian Pontiac rads say Harrison in that era.

My 66 Beaumont rad says Harrison.

My 2 row rad from the 68 Grande has Harrison logo on it as does the heater core.  Both are now in the garage to be re-cored one day.

Thanks you guys.
Stands to reason they should be Harrison.
If it was another OEM vendor, I can't see them not having their logo instead.
I figured my plain tanks to be a more recent aftermarket thing before I started second guessing myself.
Now I need a non a/c 283/327 w/PG Harrison rad for tanks to use in a recore.
I was lucky to easily find date coded Harrison heater core tanks a couple of years ago, not that it can ever be seen unlike the rad, but I'm not gonna hold out for date codes with the rad and have the car just sit until who knows when.

Another piece to look for to go with the original type rad would be the correct assembly line rad cap. These caps are hard to find  now, but can be restored if a good core is used. I have seen these caps on very low mile original cars.

Never thought about a made in Canada rad cap, and haven't seen one before. I have an AC Delco RC-115 roto-safe dealer accessory cap on my car. It's not stamped where it's made, can't remember what the box said.
