1960 Top Tank Radiator Label Placement

[Wayne P.]

Can anyone help me with the correct label placements on an aluminum top tank radiator. 283/270hp (if any) Thanks

just slightly left of center, left being the drivers side

If your top tank has the five ribs (most do), the position is dicated by the shortened 3rd rib; the aluminum label goes into that unribbed area located +/= 7/16" from the 2nd and 4th ribs, with the stamped date on the label closest to the windshield. The original I have on hand is a 60A.
Pictures I have of the unribbed tank show the emblem in relatively the same location.

Loren, I believe the OP is referring to the anti-freeze warning sticker.

So do I. And according to the blueprint for #3147516, the language on the aluminum plate is: "Use only anti-freezes and other additives specifically recommended by their manufacturers for use with aluminum.
See owner's manual for service information.".
On the blueprint for #3151116, the same language is repeated.
It is interesting to note that on both blueprints, the dating scheme is called out as "B-60" and "B-61", contrary to the "60-A" that was utilized.

Not the aluminum plate, the gum backed paper sticker.
