"Curved neck" refers to the metal tube the upper radiator hose connects to.

On virtually all cars it is straight. On '69 Camaros with a bb and HD cooling [probably all COPOs] the tube has a 90º bend. It is also seen on 396/AC Camaros but is fairly unusual on a non-AC 396. Camaro ordering info lists positraction at $42.15 but for 3.73 or 4.10 ratios "also includes HD radiator...$56.90" but does not specifically list the 396. The manner in which it is stated leads me to believe you couldn't order the car that way but the factory may include it at the additional cost.
