General Discussion / Tall distrubutor boss?

« on: January 31, 2010, 10:25:36 PM »

I have read the topics which clarify the Z motors as a basic motor with Z/28 parts. I do have a question as to blocks I have seen for sale stating a Z block and some say a tall distributor boss can someone shed some light as to what this means?

Decoding/Numbers / blocks, castings and date codes

« on: January 24, 2010, 10:20:31 PM »

I guess this may be more of a logistics question and maybe some clarification. My understanding is a 69 Z block was cast in Flint Mi?? If that is true or even if it isn't how did they cast a block ship it and assemble it sometimes the same day or from what I see most of the time a few days after and install te motor in Cincinnati in such a short time?

Decoding/Numbers / Help on date coded block??

« on: January 24, 2010, 12:50:39 PM »

I am looking for info on what date coded block I would need for my 69Z it is an early car 1st week October of 68.
The Vin is N516195. I am somewhat confused as I have heard that 2 weeks prior to the cars build date is the norm but have seen as much as two months on cars that are legit? My transmition is original to car and it is dated P9P11 any thoughts ideas would be welcome. Thanks! Jim
