Adam, there is an engine shot you shared, the clip was there.  Did it drop? The sticker on the shroud was the emissions specs. But it was specific to the engine, V8 stickers are available through the Camaro catalogs, but they do not carry a L6 that I can see. 

The "P" inspection mark is Paint, there should be a T and a B for Trim & Body close by.

Be careful using brush-on paint, it really stands out (in a bad way). Factory finishes were dipped or sprayed. There are books and many posts online on original engine finishes, (not easy!) 

Thanks Kurt!  More complete info is always welcome.

Date code should be YMDD, so 9K23 is 1969 October 23 day. Months are A (Jan) through H (Aug), "I" was not used, then J (Sep) through M (Dec).

That info is from Colvin's "Chevrolet by the numbers 1965-1969". This book has Distributor codes, but not for L6

When checking my 1969 Motors repair manual, it lists two distributors for L6-230 1110459 (manual) & 1110460 (auto).  The manual does not actually say which one is manual vs auto, but looking at other engines, the lower number looks like the manual versions.

My books only go up to 1971, but a google search says 1110499 is a 1973 or 74 model.   

OK, we all know the early 1969 Camaros had a lot of differences, then the ones built after Dec/Jan timeframe.  Mainly a bunch of 68 "looking" holdovers of design.

I think I have found another.  This is the 4 blade fan from my Oct 68 build's 327 original engine.  I did not think too much of it.  But when I looked closer, I realized it looks like a 67-68 fan, but has the holes drilled for the larger 69 bolt circle. 

In the 2nd pic, you can see where the hole is a lot closer to the rivet than the 67-68 version. Same exact size, both have a stamped "2" on the back of the blades.

Thoughts?   

I am curious about these headbolt markings too.

I have WB bolts (fine thread) on my 9/30/68 Flint 327. Have spare AS and AT bolts (as well as WB). So would like to know correctness for those too.

Pic of WBs:

There is a "tail" in the last piece of top frame to glass weather-strip which goes into that hole.

So, I have 3 pairs of disc brakes I am bring back from the dead.  Two in my shed attic (for decades) and another in a box for 40 years. They were in partial disassembly, so I don't know which spindle washer was on which set.

But For the life of me, I don't know why I have 3 washers with a tangential cut and 3 without.  Was there a cut washer on one side and a round on another? Or was one set round, and another cut and 1 set was a mix?  Thanks

You could do what I did Get a period Day 2 player and mount under dash next to console.

All of the verts I took apart have been the square kind.  Rectangular clips were coupes in my experience. 

Hey Jeff, how you been?  Any progress on your 69?

On my list for the spring! my tires are older

Single exhaust hanger, all bodies came with it.

If you check the 69 AIM, UPC-8, page A4, you can see the bracket and how the exhaust mounts to it.

In the letter, Jerry stated "based on the photos sent", blah blah.  So he did not do an in person inspection? Also, the M20/4.10 combo is a bit out of norm.

My login stayed active overnight, I think you fixed it Kurt!

I was wondering, was the forum restarted last night for maint? I logged in yesterday and put "forever" to stay logged in.  But this morning I had to re-log in.  Is forever not working? thanks
