This is odd because BB Novas got the 13/16 bar.Hope I'm allowed to say the N word here.

I may be nuts but I could swear mine is attached to the fender support.

The parts are avail.at NAPA.I just purchased a kit for the 309 cylinder.When I disassembled the master I found pitting so will be sending it to Whitepost Restorations.

Years ago I owned a torque y El Camino ,I was replacing clutches once a year.I even tried the HD Corvette clutch with no improvment.When I upgraded to the 11" that solved the problem.

The drop base theory makes the most sense but doesn't the L48 use the same base particularly with ZL2?

I believe the Z/28 P/S hose bracket is there to keep the hose off the throttle linkage.Which brings up another question,What is the reason for the Z only drop throttle linkage?

I see the tab on the wire tower.The green spring is to short to reach it.So I figure the spring has been shortened (But doesn't appear to be) or it doesn't go to the wire tower.The AIM isn't clear on the location.

Decoding/Numbers / 69 Front disc brake calipers

« on: February 07, 2008, 08:01:14 PM »

I'm installing new rubber in my 69 front calipers and noticed the julian date (73) which makes sense for a 04C car but there's no date for the year,Is this the norm?

Thank you,John.How correct is your picture?I noticed that the throttle return spring is hooked to the plug wire tower,My green spring is hooked to the coil bracket.The plug wire stand is to far away to hook to it.Which is correct?Steve.

Should the P/B vac. hose go through the spark plug wire tower or use the bracket that bolts to the rocker cover? The car is a 04C 69Z.Steve.
