Good catch. In looking at it and studying them, the characters seem to be spaced too close together. 4 seems a bit off too.

So the OEM shifter would be Hurst round bar type, not Hurts flat like mine?

Interesting. I should have added that its a M22 4 speed.  So I would use 3955763 for lower and 3955762 for upper? The AIM book was showing 3920217 and 3920218 for the ball halves... confused.

Restoration / Correct factory shifter ball for X66

Does anyone know what the correct shifter ball is for a 1969 X66 L78? I currently (which may be correct) have the chrome, non marked ball and wanted to be OEM correct..

Hi all. Im trying to track down a trunk emblem for Jackshaw from Euclid Ohio. Also looking for a license plate housing as well. Perhaps someone has a good image of either one?

Thanks

Not sure about 67 or 68 but L78 had them but placement info is sketchy. Some say it was placed on drivers side rear of valve cover by firewall and ive seen them on the front drivers side valve cover as well. Here is one example from a documented L78 sold at 2022 BJ auction.

Mild Modifications / RPO-ZL2 Kit

I have the hood and correct air cleaner and seal on my car already, but no operational parts for the induction. Has anyone installed this kit? How difficult was it?

Originality / 69 SS L78 Engine compartment decals

« on: December 24, 2022, 07:09:19 PM »

Doing some clean up work on my car and want to add the factory under hood stickers. I will be getting the JH driver side valve cover decal as my block is a JH 396. I will also be getting the pass side valve cover Tonawanda decal as indicated by the T on my stamping prefix. Also will be getting the PBT stamps and paint for firewall (Norwood car). Was wondering if someone had a picture of placement of these decals and others like fan shroud decals (emission and cooling). Just want to get them as accurate as possible.
