Originality / A few 69 Z questions...

« on: September 08, 2016, 05:19:24 PM »

Hi All

I was looking at some pics of a 69 Z.
The car looks like it is fairly original.
The exhaust appears to have original head pipes but the clamps are not the typical "guillotine" style clamps. They are a single bolt Q-clamp. They only have one nut. I have attached a file pic so you can see what I'm talking about. A lot of Mopar's used these on the exhaust tips. I have never seen these anywhere else through the years such as at muffler shops, auto parts places etc......only the guillotine style.

Has anyone seen these on original cars?

Also....around the motor mounts there was splotches of white paint sprayed....and not neatly. The car did not have the "recall" cables around the mounts.....wondering if this is what the dealer did to show they checked the mounts...or??

Thanks

Jim

Originality / 69 BB Power steering bracket hardware

« on: July 06, 2015, 05:16:13 PM »

Hi All - Been straightening a few things out on my car and have a question on the p/s bracket hardware. On the attached UPC N40 A5 - It shows item 2 as part number 3754153 "SPL Washer". At first I thought this would be a split washer.....but looking at item 10 - part number 3792381 - it shows this as a "SPL Washer" as well - and we know that is a spacer. Does SPL mean special? Can anyone tell me what 3754153 is - and if it is a spacer - what thickness?

Thanks in advance!

Originality / DW Tire Pressure Decal

« on: April 28, 2015, 05:53:33 PM »

Hi All - not sure if there are correct repops out there of the DW tire pressure decal....I know there is one with the incorrect part number on it. ECS has the decal showing the correct part number. I just ordered one.  http://www.ecsautomotive.com/productdesc.php?co=g&id=12

Originality / 69 Hood bumper hardware - Front

« on: April 22, 2015, 04:21:52 PM »

Hi all. On my car... the bolts and hold down nuts are silver. Like the one in the pic. In the repro kit they look phos plated. Are both finishes acceptable? What is mostly found on original cars?  Thanks

Originality / 69 RS Washer Bottle Bracket Fasteners

« on: April 09, 2015, 05:23:10 PM »

Hi All. Trying to figure out the correct fasteners and plating for the washer bottle bracket. The ones on there are phos finish (don't have the head marking info at the moment).....the ones that come in the kit are silver and have caps that go over the exposed threads...which are shown in the manual. Again - can't tell you (at the moment) the markings on those either. Thanks!

Restoration / Copo Radiator - 4 Speed

« on: March 23, 2015, 02:59:28 PM »

Hi All. Have a question. According this site  http://www.camaros.org/coolingsystems.shtml#usage  the tanks on the Curved neck radiator should have "IO" on the Left side and "OO" on the right. The repro tanks I have seen offered are "IL" (left) and "OO" (right). Which is correct?
Thanks

« on: February 17, 2015, 06:20:52 PM »

The valve covers on my car are incorrect and want to get new ones from Cranes Corvettes.

They list 2 part numbers for a Copo Camaro....

V68-9P=BB CHROME VETTE AND PASS. FULL SIZE, + L-89, L-88 CORVETTE, C.O.P.O & L-89 CAMARO ALL-NICKEY AND BILL THOMAS, MOTION CHEVELLE.

V68-9CP==#5 ABOVE IN PHOTO ON RIGHT=BB CHROME CAMARO , W/ TALL BENT BRKT MOVED TO FORWARD LOCATION .USED ON ALL C.O.P.O & L-89 CAMAROS/CHEVELLES/NOVA-NICKEY AND BILL THOMAS, CHEVELLE, CAMARO/NOVA.

Here is the web page  http://www.cranescorvette.com/big_block_427_valve_covers_corvette_camaro.htm

Any thoughts as to which ones are the ones I need? Thanks all

Hi All - tried searching. Is there a thread with some good shots of an engine compartment. A great survivor or a correct restored would work.

Did the original water pump pulley "BV" also have the part number on it as well. Need one for a 69 L72. Thanks.
