Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Unusual valve covers and intake ??

« on: October 06, 2018, 10:18:18 AM »

I think the valve covers have a FORD look to them.

That's the first thing I thought, too. I've never seen a set or those covers, either. Maybe a foreign market thing?

From memory (please confirm), but a 489 distributor sounds correct. You'll want a distributor dated before Apr. 9th. That is the assembly date of your engine and they can't build an engine with parts from the future. I'd think any 489 built the last couple weeks of Mar./first few days of April would line up correctly.

You sure about it being a Z/28? A Z/28 would NOT have had dual fuel lines.

I'm always checking through orphan section documentation list, but it hasn't been updated in almost 2 years. Couple VINs close to mine, but no direct hits yet.

Looks like they put a disclaimer in the ad:

 On Mar-01-17 at 04:29:24 PST, seller added the following information:

This 1969 Camaro is a nice clean car it is our understanding that this car started its life as a V6 car. The conversion to a V8 and other options were very well done. Please call with any questions.
