The drawing is in the AIM. What exactly are you looking for? I can take a picture but it would only be the grille as the speaker is behind it and can't be seen.

Interesting that you have the folding rear seat but it's not listed on the trim tag (1L)

Yes, you have an L30/M20. A very late one at that! What's the VIN?

Those are aftermarket driving lights. Very common in Europe at the time but not a factory option. Bosch and Hella were the top two suppliers.

That date is H 29 68 which is August 29th, 1968, about two weeks before it was assembled.

And HERE'S the engine you're referring to.

It's not in the DB, but of course that doesn't mean it's not still around. I also did a Google, Yahoo, Bing and ebay search and it didn't come up those either. Not even in past ebay history.

They were manufactured by the "Guide Lamp Division" of General Motors which has been around since the early 1900's!

I'm sure there's a way to tell if yours are original or reproduction, but I wouldn't know since all the repop lenses have Guide on them. Some good reading about them HERE.

Yep. A 32 pound bag of sour cream that's been sitting out in the sun for 3 weeks!

Being the transmission is out of the car, I think they took off the speedometer gear housing and left it on the speedometer cable and hung it complete on the wiper motor?

I think you're right! Which means that's not a "C" clip but an O-Ring. Good job!!

some cruise control? just thinking out loud

If it is, it has to be aftermarket like maybe from JC Whitney, Sears, Western Auto or Monkey Wards. RPO K30 wasn't available in 1969.

Corvette distributor mechanical tach drive is me guess.

No, can't be. The distributor is over a foot away from the trim tag when mounted. And from the pictures, it appears the engine is sitting on an engine stand. Unless the distributor's zip tied to something in the engine compartment??? But my 69 Corvette and 57 Chevy both have the tach drive distributor and neither of them have that (what appears to be) "C" clip next to the cable. It's a threaded union (see attached)

Yes, the trim tag is beat up, but I'm more curious as to what this is (see arrow)!!
