Restoration / Re: 1967 firewall and tulip panel seam sealer

I appreciate all the information. The previous owner had already cleaned all the old sealers off and primed the firewall.

Restoration / 1967 firewall and tulip panel seam sealer

« on: September 11, 2019, 03:58:23 PM »

I need to seal the seams on the firewall and tulip panels on my 67 and wanted to see if anyone has instructions or a procedure to applying the sealers. I searched the form and found some information on the types of materials to use, but not the procedure to make it look close to factory. The seams have been cleaned and epoxy primed already.

Also, is there a way to make sure the satin paint is the correct sheen once painted (30% or 60% satin). I have to paint the top of the dash also.

Thanks for the help.

So should I assume since this block has no vin stamped on it, I should consider it nothing more than a run of the mill block. I am not gonna use it in my Camaro, as I already have the drive train for it, but also didn't want to put it in one of my trucks or other cars if it needed to be protected so to speak.

Correct for what???   Does the engine cast/stamp date line up with the vehicle production date?

The car I got it with is an 11B RS\SS convertible. If it is correct for it I will store, it otherwise I will do something different with it.

It's a 1967 SS-350 and fairly improbable, but anything's possible.

What other pictures would help you determine if the block is correct.

If the engine is from a 1967 model car, it may not have had a partial VIN stamped on the engine (per CRG..  generally only Z28 and SS engines were stamped with a partial VIN in 1967 model cars).

If the engine you pictured is a '67 model engine, was it from an SS?

The block is supposed to be from a 1967 SS and it is a large journal block.

Is it possible to have an original block with the pad stamped with the engine code, but not have the body vin stamp.
