Mild Modifications / shocks

« on: July 13, 2012, 12:55:54 AM »

Hello
I am going to have to change my front springs in my 69 Z and wondered if I should change the shocks. Car has mr gasket super drag shocks on the front and monro matics on the back.  Seen kyb and blistens that people liked, along with edelbrocks but jegs doesnt seem to have edlebrocks.
I wont do anything other than a little spirited driving, no racing.  Only person who drove my car was the original owner so the shocks on it have been there a while. I havent drove it enough to know if what I have are any good either

Thanks

Restoration / tag on coil spring.

« on: July 07, 2012, 03:40:02 AM »

While cleaning my recent purchase, I found the tag still around the coil spring.
It was really  nice. I was wondering, should I take it off and put it in a scrapebook?

Originality / Re: date code on Holley for 69Z

I am thinking anything in the first 2 Weeks of march should be ok on a 03D? Maybe last week of February?

Restoration / keeping gas tank and brake lines nice

 Buddy of mine said he used a low sheen clear on his tank and lines to keep them from trying to corrode. I am getting a new gas tank and was curious if anyone here has tried it

I had two things to add. My car is the same week seq # on mine about 850 higher. One thing I noticed a  while back on the seller, in his feedback he had bought a repro tag for a mid 50s Chevy

My cousin has an engine shop and used to run a pro mod car. This is without seeing yours but he said he has repaired blocks like it. You might check around and see what's in your area.

Good luck 400guy. I was disappointed to see the tag and imagine it made you feel alot worse. I had emailed Hendricks when they had it on Ebay asking about the tag. Never heard back. It is a nice car that someone put alot of work into. I saw so much strange stuff at mecum in Florida last year, I was ready to give up on finding a Camaro.

  I don't think they knew any different. They didn't sell stuff like this and had no idea with the fake documents. I saw it and the paper with looked old. I didn't like 2 things on the tag and the block had no broach marks. I looked at alot of cars this winter and starting to see weird stuff. I hope the right thing is done and no one else is screwed by this car. I bought a 396 rs ss 25 years ago that was a cloned car and didn't know. Guy lied to me and it makes you mad. Money was alot less then.
