My motor is out of the car, and I took multiple pictures of the rough cast area with a 10 megaixel camera------no VIN visable on the oil filter boss. Maybe it was there once upon a time but not now. However, I did not try the crayon trick, but have tried a pencil and paper.
First Gen Addict on this site has a motor with no visable stamp as well.

Does anybody know what color black the outside casing of the fan motor for the heater should be? I know the heater box cover under the hood is 60-70 gloss and the firewall is 30% but what about the fan motor?

Thanks,

I think that items 1 and 2 are fender u nuts is that right? Also where does clip 3 go?

Thanks

If you have an AIM look up the part number, then go to AMK Restoration's site. Go to the PDF catalog and look up the part number in the catalog. The catalog will give you the page number to go to in their catalog and there you will find all the specs on the fastener as well as the picture. All of this is online. They sell those fasteners as an indivudual kit....I think.

I am getting the following error message when trying to upload pics?
Cannot access attachments upload path! Can someone give me a hand with this?

Thanks,

Most primer I've seen on a first gen is dark gray or black.

You should be able to find some of the original primer on the top or bottom of the floors.

I agree. The floor pans on my 3D x-33 are gray primer with black paint sporadically shot here and there.

Are the reverse lock out rods, bracket that attaches to the frame natural or?

Thanks

Thanks James.

When installing the pulley on the pump shaft should the stamped numbers face forward or rearward?

Approximately how thick is the smog pump spacer as shown in the AIM UPC 6 A6?

Thanks

Kurt,
The photo above is of the Black Z...
It had something slathered on it when it was done as where the chipped paint exposed bare metal is not rusted but protected by the "yellowed glue or clear coat"
I will take the wiper cowl off and take some more pics.

James there is nothing on mine.

The Hurst shifter tower is silver cad, the mounting bracket on a SB car is silver cad, dark gray phosphate on the BB mounting bracket.  Shift levers for 1-2, 3-4 are yellow zinc, the reverse lever is dk gray phosphate.  Shift linkage rods are dk gray phosphate, bell crank is dk gray phosphate,

Jerry what is the finish on the reverse lock rods and the lock out itself----the part that attaches to the sub frame?

Thanks

Also are the spring clamps black or olive for the fuel lines and PCV hose?

Olive...I just took one off my car. It was dirty but cleaned it up and olive appeared.

Do original brake line clips have any black paint on them or are they natural finish or?

If a reproduction fender and an original GM fender were laying side by side at a swap meet is there any way to tell the difference?  I am trying to find some originals without paying really serious money for them.
