Is there anywhere on that imprint any code or numbers that would say this is a Z28 or has something only a Z28 would have.

Yes, but post a picture. POP's are now being faked just as much as everything else.

Can anyone be certain all fasteners ended up where they were supposed to?

You guys are getting too hung up on screw and bolt head markings. GM fasteners were supplied by multiple vendors and were dumped in the same bin as other suppliers screws and bolts. No one on the lines cared what the head markings were and just grabed what was in the bin. Most cars have a mix and match number of head markings on their car so don't worry if your car has something different than another car.

U63/A5 states "All Except C60". So does this mean A/C cars only have 3 straps?

No. U63/A5 is regarding the capacitor attachment. "All except C60" had it attached to the firewall under the ground strap, and all with "C60" had it attached to the evaporator assembly.

Also, can someone recommend a vendor for these straps?

All the vendors sell them. HERE'S the Classic Industries set.

The Z28 fender emblem came out in March '69 correct?

I think you probably meant March of 1968, and you are correct. And Rally Green would have come with white stripes.

JB, would it be possible to get a scan of your POP for out database? My email address is in my signature to the left.

Thanks

Ok guys. I just spoke to jeff and he's going to see what he has and call me back. It may take a few days to get to the seats (they're in a different storage area), so stay tuned.

My father also got me a Sears Penske timing light, and up until a year ago, it was working perfectly. Unfortunatly, it came out second best in a fight with the fan blades!

And here's mine. A Sears Penski Automotive Analyzer. My father purchased this for me when I got my first car back in the early 70's. He paid $99.99 plus tax. NOT cheap! And like John's, it still works perfectly.

One last thought, I would think that there should have been an item added to the 69 AIM U63 A7 revision record to show the new view of the fenderwell to frame strap.

Only if it was a running change. If this began at the start of production (which it appears to be), it wouldn't have any kind of "change" date.

Yep. Sorry boys I got it wrong AGAIN!!! (Forgive me, I'm old...) I was reading the "Title" on Sheet A7 in all three of the AIM's incorrectly. It's "(Body to frame AND L-6 engine to body). I was reading it like sheet A7 applied to the L6 engines only. My mistake.

Here's the skinny:

1967 L6 - 2 straps. One on the valve cover to the firewall and one on the inner fender to the subframe.
1967 V8 - 3 straps. Two on the valve covers to the firewall and one on the firewall to the frame.
 
1968 L6 - 2 (or 3*) straps. One on the valve cover to the firewall and one on the firewall to the subframe. (*Note that the one on the inner fender to the subframe - view 2 on Sheet A7  - was removed at some point during the 1968 model year. The date of the note is 2-28-68, but it's not known exactly when this took effect.)
1968 V8 - 3 straps. Same as 1967 V8.
 
1969 L6 - 3 straps. One on the valve cover to the firewall, one on the firewall to the subframe and one on the inner fender to the subframe.
1969 V8 - 4 straps. Two on the valve covers to the firewall, one on the firewall to the subframe and one on the inner fender to the subframe.

Of course, this was according to the respective AIM's. What was really done on the assembly line could be another story!

Yes, I did edit my first reply because I had it wrong. There were a few changes made along the way and it gets a little confusing! I even got THIS reply wrong, so I'm removing it also.

Please see reply (number 28) below for the "correct" (well, correct per the respective AIM's) configurations.

1968 - Orphans / Re: 8L301648 POP
« on: January 06, 2012, 05:38:35 PM »
He's got them mixed up. THIS is the auction for the 124678L301648 and it's an L30/M35 car.

I can't read your auction's VIN, but I have a feeling it's 124378L322077 because of the answer he posted in the Q&A at the bottom of the 8L301648 auction.

Originality / Re: Correct length Heater Hoses for a 69 Small Block
« on: January 06, 2012, 05:12:19 PM »
The 5/8" hose is approx 50" in length and the 3/4" hose is approx 58" in length. I recommend you get them several inches longer and cut to fit.

Here's the factory routing...
