Here is a kicker for you . From 68 to early 69 they used one header and hood assembly then in late 69 to 70 they use a different hood and header. Think they had so many parts made in 68 so they used up what they had. I dose make since in the fact their not going to just throw away a bunch of parts all ready made. From a business stand point the bottom line. Like finding a 68 production motor in a 69 car.

Is your car an early or late production car. Maybe how you are getting different numbers. That is if someone had it before you and replaced part's.

The 26” big radiator also comes with an axle package, Trailer towing, Or HD cooling. The rad support opening is made 22” or 26” before the car gets painted. So they know what they are building ahead of time.
