General Discussion / Re: '69 396 SS/RS for sale on FB

« on: September 04, 2024, 11:02:58 AM »

The car is not a barn find. Back in 2017, it had a fake 10-10 X66 tag on it. Now a fake 69-69 X22 tag.

Ohh my...  I guess someone changed it to X22 to be more in line with the Z21and Z22 style trim the car has now.

I think the bump stop mounting holes are in front of the coil springs on 69 and to the rear of the spring on 68. Thats the only differences that I am aware of.

JohnZ write up about GM workers not being permitted 
to go through the hole in the wall to Fisher is pretty funny. Almost like 39th parallel.

38th?

Did John identify as a South Korean? lol

Typo on that.. there should have been DMZ between Fisher and GM

Interesting. Is there any further reading on that error on CRG or anywhere else?

Assembly line pumps with date codes are readily available on interweb.
My case was a bit different. I have an 06A with 396 and the switchover from the 065 the 811 casting occurred right before my car was  built. However my engine was assembled in mid May. The pump that was on my car when I bought it was a long type Napa or some type of aftermarket unit. Being that the pump changeover from 065 to 811 occurred in April and my engine was assembled in mid May and car being built June 16, that left a pretty small date code window. I finally located a Tonawanda 811 pump dated 4/23/69.  Took me over a year to find an 811 pump dated prior to my May 16 engine build date. That pump is the 811 pump seen in the CRG water pump report.

Hopefully with the change we will be able to access the site on mobile network rather than just wifi. Thanks to core members for doing what you do here.

Restoration / Re: Ignition cylinder

Its a step by step process obviously involving steering wheel and internals removal. Depending on which column type you have it may differ. When I did mine, I watched several YT videos to learn. If not done properly you can mess some stuff up in there. The process is pretty easy if you do it correctly by step by step.
