Originality / DOOR SILL QUESTION

« on: February 10, 2008, 12:13:13 AM »

 although there are a few types of repop carpet sills out there, i have a question about 2 of them. the type in question are the ones made with the rivits in place for a 1969  camaro. Ground up sells them with aluminum color rivits and i have also seen them with black rivits. the ones with black actually look like they were painted right along with the body by fisher embelm. which is correct?? thanks in advance

Originality / another 69 radiator question

« on: January 26, 2008, 04:10:33 AM »

i am still trying to figure out my radiator probelm, maybe someone here can help. the radiator on my 69 L-78 car has its original tanks and tags however it was recored. it now has the wrong channels running along the top and bottom of the core. this is what I would like to correct.  HEARTBEAT CITY  sells WHAT THEY SAY ARE  the correct channels which are 2 3/4 inches by 23. my core is only 2 inches wide. i guess my questions are :
 
1. how wide is the core on a 3 core radiator?
2. how wide is the core on a 4 core radiator?
3. did someone just recore mine with a 2 core?

4. if anyone out there has an original 3 core with the original channels, are the channels flush with the core or do they hang over each side to make up the extra 3/4 inch?

5. do i maybe just need a whole new core??


HELP   LOL

Originality / 1969 radiator question

« on: January 24, 2008, 03:21:49 PM »

funny thing, both of my 69 camaros ( one a small blk and one a bb)  have 4 radiaor mounting points. the 2 on the pass side are just bolts that screw into the radiator support. on the driver side both cars use bolts with nuts and washers.  Is this correct? and if not what is??  also if anyone knows the size and type of bolts, nuts, washers to use?  thank in advance

PS  anyone have original radiator core top and bottom channels, 23 inches L x 2/3/4  W??

sorry guys one more question:  would the core channels be the same width on a 3 core and a 4 core radiator?

Originality / original big block heads

« on: October 14, 2006, 07:36:55 PM »

some told me I should try and get john hinckley to answer this question.  here goes,  a 69 camaro built 10E  of 1969, engine assembly date is july 24th 1969. Is it possible for this car to have 1 may dated 840 head and 1 june dated 291 head? the 291 head has a flat seat and uses the same plug as the 840. I have heard that this 291 with the flat seat plug was used as a  service head only. if this was the case would it have been dated  june 5th 69??  also if the car came with a set of 291s wouldnt they be the peanut plugs?? any help I can get will be great   thank you, john
