Restoration / Re: 69 Dash Trim
« on: January 09, 2008, 01:35:46 AM »
I have a 69z and went through that same decision when I had my dash out of the car. I used chrome spray paint and sprayed it in the cap and dipped a tooth pic in blotted it some. I did fine. I had some rework but that part of restoring a car.
Have fun, I am.

Restoration / Re: Aluminum valve covers
« on: November 17, 2007, 03:09:21 PM »
Thanks for the info Jerry
I also have a alu. intake that is in good shape except the front passenger side bolting ear was cracked and me being a welder with a alu. mig gun, repaired it about 1985. My engine is completly restored so I test ran it last month and I checked the repair area out on my intake and it seemed to have a little white chalkie apparence. I beleive it is a leak. I've seen your work on repairing intakes and it is fantastic. I would like to have some sort of idea of the cost to restore it.
I have a 4779-2 holley carb, I havn't desided what to do about it yet.
Thanks

Thanks Dave, You're a find fellow.
Your intake looks nice, is it powder coated, and if it is how does it react to a small fuel leakage.

P.S. Maybe if I'm close to Little Rock sometimes I'll come by your place to chat awhile.
      I heard there was a good chrome shop there, I need my bumpers redone.

RamAirDave please respond, I to would like to know. Because my pockets aren't very deep, I need to save wherever possible. But you know, I really enjoy doing as much of the restoration as I can. It seams to me that I should be able to learn the process to achive the "dull" finish here on crg or tc.
Thanks

Restoration / Re: Trim adhesive
« on: June 21, 2007, 09:54:22 PM »
My untouched original 02D '69 has no adhesive of any kind on the door weatherstrips, and the adhesive bead used on the trunk opening weatherstrip is black.

My 69Z is a 02D  67  67 with white stripes, I just removed the door weatherstrips, no adhesive.

Maintenance / Best way to break-in a fresh rebuilt 302
« on: June 14, 2007, 04:59:37 PM »
I've just received my engine from the builder. I'm a steel fabricator so I was able to fabricate a engine stand and mount my engine to it. I plan to crank it up and break-in my cam on the stand.
My question is [what oil to use] [how long to run engine] [what rpm]
I would like to here your opinions.

thanks

Decoding/Numbers / Re: transmission with wrong stamp ?
« on: May 28, 2007, 05:05:28 PM »
I looked over the transmission real close today and saw another # on the tailshaft 3857584.
the rest of the transmission has never had another # stamped or altered on it. The shift cover plate is a 69.
thanks for the help.

maybe the guy who stamped the numbers on the transmission was behin in production and drunk or hi on drugs.
I've owned this car since 1978. I believe back then the value was not very much. I paid $2,400. The transmission tag # is 1946798 not 3945798
