Does anybody have any thoughts on the date and application of this radiator?

The letter between C & V is the month. It appears to be a 'B' for February.

The year is a bit harder to figure out as the format is a bit different than the few that I have.
I'll take a stab at it and say 69 or 79 based upon the last number of the Harrison part number. 3030109.

And the hose clamp seems to have a B9 stamp.

Steve, it's a '73. May be 1974, but the number after the ....109 is a 3. And the stamping between the C V is the month over the year (3).

Great, thanks everyone for all that. Mike, do you think it would work for a June built 73 car or is it too big of a gap?

Again, I can't read the month stamp, so I can't be sure.
It does appear to be a C, which I would say is good enough.
