Maintenance / '69 Convertible 2-piece front to rear brake line replacement

« on: December 04, 2021, 04:13:48 PM »

'69 power disc/drum.

Looking to replace the brake lines from the master to prop valve on driver side frame rail and the prop valve to rear flex line.  Bought inline tube steel brake lines.  Please tell me this can be done with the car fully assembled.  Any tips?

Also is there anything I should do to the prop valve (clean it, paint it, etc.) while I am at it? 

This was all started by my decision to replace the rear flex hose. One look at the hard lines on the rear and I knew they would never survive the flex hose replacement so I am replacing those, and the master, too.

Any comments welcome

Decoding/Numbers / '69 ZL2 350 Cowl Induction air cleaner

« on: October 25, 2021, 05:18:00 PM »

I have a '69 L48 with what looks to be an original ZL2 air cleaner.  The problem is the snorkel is missing.  Are these date coded?  Could not find any data on this.  My engine is a T0409HB 300hp auto. 

Should it have the flapper gizmo on the snorkel or just be smooth?
Does anyone sell the snorkel by itself?

Thanks.

General Discussion / Ignition coil screw

« on: September 23, 2021, 01:33:07 AM »

I have a '69 L48 with cowl induction.  I was missing the screw for the coil bracket so I ordered one from a parts house ($7 for a screw).  When I got it it was too short.

I have a 270 coil and "a" leaning bracket.  Is there more than one leaning bracket?  is there more than 1 screw? i.e., doe thes leaning bracket get a different screw?

Decoding/Numbers / Alternator/Water Pump dates

« on: April 05, 2021, 04:29:06 AM »

All,

I have a '69 Z11 with engine build date of T0409.
Would an early April, say April 2 alternator be ok for this engine? Too late?
Same with an early April water pump?

Decoding/Numbers / Date code for distributor

« on: August 21, 2018, 01:50:44 AM »

Never looked at the distributor on my 03E Z11.  It has a 1112002 Date code 9J19 (Sep 19 1969?).  I think 1112002 decodes to a '70 Camaro/Chevelle, etc. In any case, the distributor is not correct. From what I read here, I need a 1111489 for my L48 300hp 350.

My trim tag is 03E and my engine code is T0409HB (April), the trans is Y9C03D (Mar), and the rear is BL 0402G2 (april).  NCRS shows an official production date of 4/14/1969.

What date code distributor should I try to locate?

Thanks in advance.

Decoding/Numbers / Body number vs. VIN

« on: January 14, 2008, 03:07:29 AM »

I found a '69 Z11 n Epay today which is a mere 65 vin units before mine.  It purports to be a one owner car.  My car is 9N626575 and the Ebay one is 9N626510.  Both are 03E cars.  My fisher body number is 304192 while the Ebay one is 305271 or 1079 units higher.  Is there an explanation for the fact that the VIN indicates they were probably made on the same day but the body numbers were 1079 units apart?

Decoding/Numbers / Is the VIN stamped on a TH350 Automatic for '69?

« on: October 10, 2007, 01:05:54 AM »

Is the VIN stamped on a TH350 Automatic for '69?  I found the date code on the pan but I was unsure if the VIN is stamped on the trans case.  If so, where is it?

The last digits of the VIN are stamped by the oil filter and under the cowl.
