Hi,

I bought a driver condition 76 Trans Am 455 4 speed, no ac 50th anniversary car last fall. Car has 45k miles, but the radiator in the car started leaking and is beyond repair.

Radiator shop has a radiator from a 76 trans am with the following that they could restore for me...

stamped CV on the passenger side tank (manual)

ID tag has:
IF.... FA (FA are large letters)
CV
156

I can't find my build sheet, looked under the dash, in the doors, or in/under any of the seats. I didn't check behind the rear interior panels yet.

From old parts manuals and looking at other 455 4 speed and 400/455 50th car build sheets, most seem to have FA, FC, or FO.

Should it be part number 3030189, 3030111, 3033156?

Some tags have the entire part number on them, this one has 156. Is that the part number or mean it was manufactured on the 156th day of the year (June 5, 1976). My car was manufactured July 1976 per phs sheet.

Would the FA radiator be an accurate radiator to purchase and restore for my car? ]]> 455PWR https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=886209 Weight of a 15” Honeycomb wheel? https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=886065&goto=newpost Sun, 28 Jun 2026 19:28:14 GMT I was curious if anyone happens to know or has weighed a factory 15” honeycomb wheel?

One of mine is off now but of course it has a tire on it. It seems mighty heavy to me.

Wondering the difference in weight between a factory and aftermarket 17” cast aluminum wheel.

P.S. don’t have the scratch for the billet honeycombs I found on line. ]]> 1911a1 https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=886065 75 Formula Grill Color https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=886019&goto=newpost Thu, 25 Jun 2026 19:52:20 GMT My 75 current has blacked out grills completely, looks like the chrome edge was painted at some time as their is some chipping also chipping on the fins etc Picture 1 The PO bought two more sets of grills Black with Chrome edge picture 2 Silver with Chrome edge picture 3 What... My 75 current has blacked out grills completely, looks like the chrome edge was painted at some time as their is some chipping also chipping on the fins etc Picture 1

The PO bought two more sets of grills

Black with Chrome edge picture 2

What should be correct, does trim level determine it

I saw some online that weee chrome silver and just black fins
