I have two.

The only differences that I see are
1) original '67s are painted black and '68s are an industrial green
2) originals have flat fins and the "continuation" ones have wavy fins.

Other then that, they look the same to me.


On stripping off the original paint, use a spray on paint stripper and power wash it off. That should be a no brainer?

Are the Fins strong enough not to get bent over from the water pressure?

Typically stand up well to power washing. Of course a little common sense is expected to be used when doing these projects

Good even, quite the discussion over my want to buy request.
Mr Gaines, I appreciate your advice and it is well taken.
Fortunately this search started with Mr Disher and his wonderful web site and this forum, both are a wealth of information.
Hopefully a heat exchanger will come along sooner then later.

Thanks, Mitch
