Restoration / Re: 309 Master cylinder
« on: February 11, 2008, 01:07:33 AM »
i bought one of those masters from carsflash and they happen to be pretty nice. they are original masters just not original 69 masters. I found this out after the fact but looking back at his ad and the price it makes sense. like everyone mentioned you can not buy a 309 69 master for $100. tell you what in my opinion its beats the heck out of a repop, I sold mine and bought an original.

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

its surely possible to have an 04B car with an 0318 engine. why not. as far as the double stamping I have seen it one other time. a friend has a 70 LT1 corvette with the vin double stamped like that with the same number. it is documented original with the pop plate etc...

Originality / rear e-brake cable question
« on: January 27, 2008, 09:42:37 PM »
sorry guys i need help again, who makes a dead on rear ebrake cable. i am looking at ricks and ground up which both state that they are exact reproductions,( they are both the same) then i go to in-line tubes web site and look at theirs. they are exactly the same as the other two except theirs has like a 4 inch rubber boot over the cable sort of in the middle. Guess what? they claim theirs are exactly like the factory. does anyone know for sure before I make my purchase?? thank you

yes it may measure 7/8 however most likely the front thumb pad was redrilled and the U S restamped. that being said much better then a repop I M O . good luck

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?
