No its different . Its a regular lock washer or small flat washer on the bolt . Not a star washer like the oil pan /timing cover bolts .Can post a photo if you want .

Great photos . I checked what the Ncrs manual its black phosphate. Also checked with the 1966 L79 Nova expert and he said the same black phosphate . So if they were black in 66 and 70 i believe 69 would be too ?

I agree on the brush painted stands and  the silver painted lift hooks . Not to sure on the silver plated intake bolts . I have done them silver zinc in the past on a 68z and 69z restoration . But have seen black plated bolts on survivor cars . More research ! The manual for the Legends Judging is good but not perfect . Wonder what the Corvette ncrs specs are on the L79s ?

Restoration / 1969 z/28 intake bolts

« on: March 20, 2022, 07:48:51 PM »

The intake bolts are black phosphated and painted silver after installation . The 1100 miles 1970 z/28 is a great example. They were probably brushed silver . The question is are the rear bolts for the sparkplug stands painted too? the center bolt that holds the vacccum advance tube painted ? sprayed ? brushed ? i have seen the spark plug wire stands brushed orange in the past . Thoughts ? maybe Lloyd or Steve S will chime in ? Thanks
