This just showed up on Facebook. It's an 010 block and the casting number looks to be D 21 9.

Great job Lloyd.

Now all we need is the "Money Shot" from the inside to see the texture of the glue side of the tape.  ;)

Are you going to be selling the tape kits? I'll need one for the Z10 I am doing.

I think I read somewhere the fuel pump plate was not on during the painting process and should be Black. Mine was Black during Legends judging.

Take a short drive to Camaro Central in Richmond, KY. Talk mask to mask with the people behind the counter. It might be a more enjoyable experience than dealing with shipping companies if there is a problem. The last time I stopped by they had been remodeling their show room. I have always picked up more parts than I went in for.

After posting your information, I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of your original engines are found.  ::)

The grommet for the two vacuum lines going to the headlight switch is to the left of the grommet with the two wires for your cowl induction hood.

Just took a second look at the picture. The wire from the fuel sending unit is over the tape, there was "no stick" left on the tape. The glue from the anti-squeak strap was the only thing holding the tape on the tank.

This is a picture of of the top of my tank during restoration, 28K never out of the car. The tape in the picture while not shown in the AM, was in my opinion the same as used on the fuel line and ground strap rubber cover. No pictures of that part of the tank. It was thicker than regular masking tape. I used 1" wide "Freezer Masking Tape" to replace it.

There was also the number 26 printed on the tank which was probably a mill mark for the steel.

Usually not a problem adjusting them, but unadjusting, when you want to get the drums off.

The stock knock outs are through the drums.

Lloyd,
I went through the last box of old parts and didn't find the trunk tape, must be it didn't come off very well or I just didn't save it.

Lloyd,

I have been looking through the saved parts I removed during my restoration for the tape that came off the trunk, no luck yet but I still have one box over the garage to look through. I'll let you know if I find it.

General Discussion / Re: 69 2 piece rotors
« on: March 23, 2020, 06:42:40 PM »
I will agree with Kurt and others those holes are for balancing the rotor assembly. One of my original 28K mile rotors did not have any balance holes and had this paint mark on it. The other side had three holes and no paint. My guess would be they were all checked, and anything out of spec got balanced, and any that were in spec got a paint mark to show they were checked.
