Restoration / 68 bb timing cover /oil pan

« on: April 18, 2019, 09:04:51 PM »

Does a 68 Big Block timing cover have a bolt below the center of the balancer? The bolt goes through the oil pan and threads into the timing cover. In 1967 it used this extra bolt and in 69 wasn't used. Not sure in 68 . thanks

« on: March 05, 2018, 04:46:29 AM »

Does anyone know if the transmission id tag is different from one gear ratio to the next?Because with the different gear ratios the speedo gears would be different. Need to find out what the id tag would be for a z/28 m20 with a BV410 rear. Does anyone have a z with this combo that still has there original id tag? Also do I need a speed reducer? thanks John

Originality / radio or delete? copo

« on: September 12, 2016, 01:37:18 AM »

Thinking about this for awhile not sure?Found a real rare black copo a year ago sitting in a garage since 1975.No driveline or factory paper work. Unrestored but needing a complete restoration.Not sure what to think about the radio antenna hole in the fender.The fenders are original to the car and never removed from the car.The hole for the antenna is not factory and is in the wrong spot. It looks like it was made with air chisel.No kidding.So it was not made by the factory.But here is the odd thing the kick panels are factory cut for speakers and the back deck has them also.So it has four factory speakers ,but not a factory antenna hole?There is also a speaker in the dash but doesn't look assembly line correct. The second owner 1970-1975 said it had the speakers from the time he purchased it in the fall of 70.Dealer installed system?Would the dealer install new kick panels ?Also the wire for the blower motor doesn't have the noise suppressor .It is the common orange wire and there was never a suppressor mounted on the lower heater box stud. Any other clues to prove it is a factory radio delete car? thanks John
