Are there suppose to be some shims between alternator bracket and water pump and on the intake manofold on a 327 1968 no A.I.R. no a/c (n40)?
It does not show any in AIM p.79 but I want to put back original exhaust manifold with alternator bracket but it does not line up with pulleys 
picture anyone?

Anyone has a picture of engine wiring close to starter.I want to confirm exactly where the clip (part of the harness)just before the starter goes.the picture in the AIM is not convincing to me.

Decoding/Numbers / 3927183 intake manifold

« on: May 29, 2006, 10:07:56 AM »

according to "chevrolet by the numbers" book,the 2 barrel intake manifold casting #3927183 was used  in 1969 and 1970 model year in 307 and 327 engine.

Now, my car is a late 1968 (07c)with 327,the casting on the intake manifold is 3927183 and the date code is G98.for july 9th 19_8.well I'm thinking 1968.Has this been seen before?and is this conclusive enough for to think this is the original intake for my car?

according to the book it should had been a 3919801 or 3960363 intake.see what you guys think...
