Originality / Re: What is correct "grey tip" oil dipstick for 1968 small blocks?

« on: December 19, 2015, 06:39:25 PM »

67 and 68 were exactly the same except that 1967 had a salmon colored tip. 
I have seen 4 different versions that were used E - M - W - B - could be more....

Originality / Re: 69 Gas Caps revisited - original Cap?

« on: November 17, 2015, 08:35:35 PM »

I watched that video a while back, and did not believe what I saw, and that was the cap with ears.
 I have restored a bunch of the round caps over the years and looked at quit a few original cars with there born with assy line gas caps including 1970 Chevelle's that used the same "Round" Stant vented anti-surge cap.
 I would have argued long and hard that the ear cap had not even been made in 1969.
Any thoughts on the one in the video ? Maybe a early engineering test thing ?
 Shauger have you seen the video with the ear cap ? Interesting, never say never ?

Mike

I would also have argued that there were no gas cap ears in 1969.   
And this is not a case of different vendors - these were all made by Stant.

All the yard cars that I was 100% sure were original and had been crashed back in the day had the no ears cap. 
But who really knows for sure? 

Hey that sure makes it easy, that one looks just like the cap they are selling at walmart today....   LOL

Originality / Re: 1969 door lock knobs

the reproductions being made today look pretty good, but they are metal.
the originals for 69/70 were chrome plastic.

I have a pile of originals, but can't find anyone to do a reasonable price for the plastic chrome process.

Is it true that the whereabouts of only 2 of the CAN BB IPC cars are known?  This one and mine?  I thought I heard of a few more out there?

This may be a new can of worms - would the code be different for the same alternator part number when used at Norwood for Camaros, then it was when used at St. Louis for Corvettes.  Cause then there may be lots of changes needed?

Typically my lists are based on Corvette research....
which is farther along then most other Chevrolet car models.

B1 VA is an aftermarket unit- those were never installed at the factory.
