Such posts are much more informative and productive, IF you include a bit more information (based on info you have).. I'm sure there's MORE than one Briggs Chevrolet in the country..   in fact, just doing a quick google, I find references to Briggs Chevrolet in     Fort Scott, Manhattan, and Topeka (Kansas),   and So Amboy, NJ....

Since the JH suffix code was used in multiple years, you also need the casting date of the block...

Hooper's books are 'Coffee Table Books', with pretty pictures for the novice and lots of inaccurate information...

What other parts or indications does your car exhibit which might support it's being an X33 car, or otherwise?

Outstanding !   Some great new factory information ...  Thanks!

When I saw the 1969 Order Form, I got excited, but then I found out it didn't include any of the Z28 ...?
Did I miss this somewhere else? or ??

Those are bolts, not the same as the original screws. If you are looking for original, those wouldn’t work!

You're right... and I missed that.   Got the 'hex head' bolts today...  UGH...

Thanks Fellas...  I appreciate it, especially the info that AMK has them.   I'll probably order a few sets (at least enough for 2 carburetors to get over their $30 minimum charge...

And then I noticed this...

Replacing original Z28 intake/carb with a crossram generally means you want your Z28 (to look at).. rather than to drive...  but DRIVING a 'stockish' Z28 is so much fun!

Good luck with your restoration! 

In 1974, I bought an all -original '68 Z28 in the same colors (for $1000)... drove regularly and worked on it until 1976 when I traded it for the '69 Z28/RS that I still have today.   That '68 ran like a scalded dog!  but would jump out of 4th gear when I let off on it at speed...
