Tag on my 69Z Garnet red white stripes

Built a week after mine at the same plant. Do you have the original wheels on your car? If so could you tell me if they have the  "AD" or "YH" stamping.

What color is the top?

Only wheel I believe to be original is spare it is YH
No vinyl top

I am confused. I called JE and was sent to tech where I inquired about piston part #123567. Specifically ring width, the gentleman I spoke with claimed the top rings were 1/16", weren't the original pistons 5/64"? Is he misinformed? Or am I mistaken on original width?

I was looking at rebuilding a ten bolt rear end, and didn't seem to come up with any suppliers for posi friction plates etc. Anyone know where to buy them?

General Discussion / 1969 Big Block Motor Mount Brackets?

« on: March 10, 2016, 10:38:10 PM »

I have a set of motor mount frame brackets that I bought from GM years ago. One has part #3980941 stamped in it and it measures 1 7/8" to the center line of the mount bolt when laid flat on the bench. The other one is not stamped clearly so I can not read the part # it measures 1 3/8" to the bolt center when flat on the bench. I bought these as a pair and was wondering if anyone could verify these measurements.

My Z has a factory chambered system, Hooker headers. I love the sound.

Decoding/Numbers / 6485891 Air Cleaner Applications

« on: March 25, 2015, 02:43:38 PM »

I have a cowl induction air cleaner assy that I purchased in the 70's part number 6485891. My part book is missing the page that lists it's applications. Would someone with a complete part book look it up please? I believe it is 69 Camaro and some years of Chevelle models.

01 9V is likely January of 1969, Flint - based on the casting date of January 17, 1969. 

What is the casting number?3956618

I have a 1969 302 that I acquired in 1975. CE# was decked off years ago, this thread got me interested so I checked it out today. The pad under the starter is stamped 01 9V, block was cast A179. I noticed up front on the right side lower pad in front of the fuel pump it is stamped Z and 5 in what appears to be the same font as under the block., not together they in different spots. Probably not anything, but I thought it was strange.

I tried to deal with them last year.     They told me my NOS stuff was worthless.    Then I see them selling the same kind of parts for top dollar.   Also heard bad stories from members about them.    Good luck peddling there over priced parts.    Nothing there I will need

Totally agree had two bad dealings with them. Second time was my fault shouldn't have went back

Weren't the service 4 wheel disc housings different from production? Seems to me that I read that the housing tubes were not the same.

I personally wouldn't buy anything from them. I had an issue with a puchase and was never treated so rudely by a vender in my life.
