Hi Steve, there are 2 for sale in Ebay 1 for almost 12k and a Nos 1 for 15k. I have a line on a complete cross ram that is dated with dated carbs and the guy I do cars for is interested . How would tell a real 1 from a fake ! The Nos has the box,pin set and the box it came in. How much do you think a cross ram and hood combo would add to the value of a car ? Regards Emo

Well I see the hood was made by GM for the trans am series and it was discuss here in 2011  http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=8105.0. I thought this guy had  fake hoods on his Camaros.

Was the glass hood a dealer option ? Did the 2x4 ever come in the trunk or was it a dealer option ?

Has there ever been a 1969 Z-28 with a fiberglass Cowl Hood or any glass hood .. The reason I am asking is a just looked at 2 super nice Z-28,both had the cross ram on them and they both had glass hoods. I never remember seeing a Camaro with a stock glass hood but I have been wrong before .  Thank you in advance.

Years ago they use to dip the blocks in a hot vat  with acid mixture which they can't use anymore (as far as I know ). Burn blast is the block is put into a oven and heated up at 450 degrees and I was told they add some dye which shows cracks. Then it goes onto a basket where it is shot with steel balls. When the balls are new the block comes out shinny like the head in the pic.  I never had a block done when it had brand new shot in the machine.AS you can see from my blocks it beat the hell out of them I also just found out today that the machine had to much pressure in it. Just check with the person doing the job if there is some protection you can use to preserve the numbers.

This is another block I had done. Lesson learned  ! The reason I am posting this pics is for others to ask before you have your block done and you can see what happens . Not trying to hide anything before everyone goes off the reservation here !!!!

I have no idea where this block came from. Its been in my pile of blocks for  a very long time. Over 35 years. I matched it to other pics I have of DZ blocks. All nor. I think.

Well what happen is I had the block burn blasted and I after I saw the block I took some pics to show to everyone what had happen. They has just changed the shot in the machine which I didn't know would do this to the block ! It beat the hell out of the block ! The block looks nice but the pad took a beating as well. I think a lesson learned to ask before you have it done.  I will have to ask if there is some way to cover that area before they blast it with the shot. I can kinda see the broach marks left but its hard.

Dave , I have a 68 with 4 piston calipers and I had to push it in too in order to bleed the brakes. I used a tire iron not the type that you change your tires with but 1 you would use in a tire shop. It was a straight bar about 30-36 in long with a flat spot on the end. I would push it between the valve and the booster. Not hard just a little pressure and then bleed the brakes. After bleeding remove the bar . I wish I had a pic of it .   Emo
