Decoding/Numbers / Re: 1969 Z28 Block ID

How do you know your engine in question has 4 bolt mains ? Have you had it apart ? If so does it have an 1178 crankshaft for a 302 ? Maybe the original engine was hurt & the original block was unusable, so they put the surviving pieces into this block in the car …

If the VIN isn’t on the pad wouldn’t it be on the bell housing flange ?

Make sure that your rear shackles aren’t bound up or you will have a harsh ride .... Also if the shocks are too short in the rear it will ride harsh...

   Nice work as always... What products are you using for the suede like a factory mix or custom ? Also are you using the 3m Shutz for the undercoating?

Thanks

On your pickup I have seen the weld crack when you try to weld the pickup to the pump ... I make a little sheetmetal bracket & weld it to the pickup & bolt it to the pump ...

 I replaced one years ago with a standard ignition brand & it seemed ok , never actually checked the temp .. But if your needle is really low can you adjust the needle? I’ve always wondered how the gauges were marked v/s actual degrees..Mine was lying to me & said it was boiling & it wasn’t..

 I just recently saw a GM fiberglass Crossram hood for sale & I believe it had the hood pins with an installation diagram , Can’t recall if it also had the prop rod or not ... As far as buying a new hood Glasstek makes the hood that fits the Crossram air cleaner & it’s probably cheaper than the normal Camaro parts houses..
