Decoding/Numbers / production run numbers

« on: October 08, 2009, 08:39:29 PM »

Did a search but could not find a lot of information on run dates . One question in particular was brought up but was not answered.
What is the acceptable relation between run dates (week) and body build date (week) ?
I have a 67 05E build with run dates on the R door of H17, L door H18, gas neck cover H15. Looks like the run dates are falling in line but are these dates within the correct range of an 05E build?
Is a 67 05E a week 21 or 22 ?

Originality / 67 throttle rod bracket @ firewall ( metal to plastic)

« on: November 01, 2008, 04:23:15 AM »

Does anyone know when the 67 throttle rod bracket @ the firewall changed from metal w/bushings to plastic wo/bushings? There is also some info that indicates that there were 2 BB throttle levers used in 67 up to 2-8-67 3879422 and after 2-8-67 3912599. Does anyone know the reason for the change?
Does anyone know the finish on the throttle levers?

Does anyone know the color of the 67 L78 carb return spring?
One end goes the carb arm  but where does the other end go ( to the coil bracket or the valve cover). A picture would be great!!!!!
Does anyone have a picture of the 67 BB accelerator lever at the firewall and what was the finish?

Originality / correct dipstick and tube BB L78

« on: September 05, 2008, 03:54:34 PM »

While doing a search, found a reply from John Z. that indicated that there was no part # on the stick only Full & Add marks, "Engine Oil M ". The finish was ( Noblecoating)  and the handle has a yel. plastic insert.Would this description hold  true for the 67 BB L78 ?
The reason I ask, is that the 69 GM parts book shows a different length between the Full & Add marks between the 67 & 68, 69 and a shorter distance between these marks and the rubber insert on the handle.
Does this difference mean there is also a difference in the tube design Or length ?
I notice that there are reproductions (excuse the word) of the 68,69 tubes but haven't seen one for the 67. Is this an indication that there is a difference in the 67 tube?
The 69 parts book has  a specific part # for the 67 dipstick (3902399) and tube (3899640). Does anyone have a 67,68 parts book that could verify?
Just confused.

« on: September 03, 2008, 04:54:45 AM »

To all,
Trying to find correct dipstick and tube for 67 BB. Tryed search but only found responce from John Z that it did not have a part #  but had full & add marks also had " Engine Oil M"on the stick. Did that apply to the 67 as 68,69 had different dipsticks ? What was the shape of the handle, was it a round tube and did it have a color coded plastic tip? Anyone have a picture of a original ?
Jerry M. I know you are a small block man but do you have any idea what is correct for a 67 BB L78.
