In winter 2020, I had no problem finding a 26" SP CU332 radiator for Snow White, my EW1 white 1970 N-code Polara 'vert. The only issue at the time was cost -- there were wide discrepancies in the market place.
In spring 2021, when I went looking for one for my recently-acquired EB7 blue 1970 TNT 'vert, it took me three attempts to get the part. For the first time ever in my experience, Summit kept delaying and then was happy when I canceled my order; Amazon delivered a bent unit; and, thanks to @david hill, I managed to score one on eBay.
Well, the explanation is now out -- from Spectra's own website, where the company put out a release on June 9, 2021:
"Since the beginning of May, Spectra Premium has withdrawn some product lines in the Heating & Cooling and Fuel Delivery categories from the U.S. market.
To simplify knowing which products are available for your market, we have reassigned several Fuel Delivery product lines, such as Fuel Tanks, to the Undercar category. Please find below the active market lines for each market:
