   I was especially glad to see the picture of the 'Gas tank blackout'. Was that picture taken at the LOS plant?

Almost all of those pictures are at LOS. Have people seen 68's or 69's with gas tank blackout?

I've never seen it on a NOR car, btw.

General Discussion / JohnZ's assembly article

I updated John's assembly article. I added some more pictures within the text and then added other assembly pictures in galleries. It went from about 20 original pictures to almost 50 high-quality pictures
http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml
Lots of details in the pictures - you can see the broadcast code on the rear brake drum, the carb covers to make sure parts don't fall into the carb, the broadcast sheet taped to the axle, etc. And you can see John off to the side in one of the pictures.

It sounds like it could be on the headlight side of things, either power in or the ground.

Block appears to have been cast on 1229  (Dec 2, 69)... ?
VIN is a very late one and corresponds to the early december timeframe?
But how can the engine assembly be BUILT in September??
What did I miss here??   Anyone?

Cast 3 days before it was assembled, VIN is early Oct - I see no issues.

Thanks Jim!

I dont think I have ever seen anyone have luck doing this.

Depends of the depth of the decking. There's a quote in that link from someone that was successful.

Just a thought - Might be good to post the "Green Sheets" car prep details, if you have them.

Lots of things would be good to add. Gotta have scans to do that.

I also found some information on the 2x4 intake.
