No, I can't make it this year.  I've gone in past years though as a spectator only, not taking my own car.  Are you going this year?

Don't know if you would have time to come up to Northern California when you do make it out here, but you would be welcome to stop by and take a look at my '69 Z.  I'm about half way between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.

More prayers going out for you, Danny.

I'm just trying to learn here.  If this is a second week of Dec., 1968 car is it correct to have an 8,000 rpm tach?  My 01C car has a 7,000 rpm tach.

Quite interesting.  Thanks for posting this story.  I have on old college buddy in Casper who is a Chevy fan.  I'll have to contact him and see if he knows of Mr. Alexander.  My buddy used to have a 1968 Z/28, not from the Casper dealership though.  A good friend of his that I met during Thanksgiving vacation in 1971 in Casper had a 1969 Z/28, Burnished Brown.  This car very well could have come from this dealership if it was in existence then and could have been sold by this gentleman.

I've heard wheels were changed from AD to YH as a result of the availability of the 4 wheel disc brake option. When did that option begin? My impression has been around Jan 69, and also that's about the time the wheels changed over. How long would it have taken for a YH wheel with a 17 Dec manufacture date to make it to the assembly line? The assembly plant would also have to be notified so that the broadcast sheet could be revised from AD to YH correct? Any broadcast sheets out there from this time frame?

My Van Nuys 1969 Z with an 01C build date has YH identifying the wheels on the chassis broadcast sheet.

Happy Birthday John.  Like all the others on this site I much appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it.  I only wish that you lived closer so I could meet you and use your expertise in person in trying to get my '69 Z to run right.

General Discussion / Re: Best 302 Air Cleaner Decal
« on: January 15, 2015, 02:47:25 AM »
The biggest difference I have found between original air cleaner decals and reproduction ones is that the original ones had the foil finish applied over a thin manila colored layer of cardboard, like the photo Z28-RS posted of his original one.  A few years ago now I stupidly replaced my original one because it was peeling away on the edges with an all foil one.  I'm waiting for someone to reproduce one with the correct thin piece of cardboard under the foil top.

I finally got the AIR system inactivated.  Checked for a vacuum leak around the carb and couldn't find any.  Car seems to hold an idle now without slowly going down and dying.  One thing I have noticed since I have been doing a lot of work with the air cleaner off is that after the car has idled awhile, though still not anywhere near hot, after I shut the engine off a vapor or mist almost as thick as smoke comes out of the carb throat.  The carb is still cold to the touch when this occurs.  What is causing this?

It's great that you were able to talk with your car's original owner.  Hopefully he will be able to send you some of his old pics of it.  I was able to talk with the original owner of my '69 Z and get some history on it.  He sent me some photos of it when he had only had it 2 months.  I and a lot of others I'm sure enjoy finding out as much as possible about our car's early life.
