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

Congrats!  And thank you to all the volunteers who had a steep learning tech curve!

Personally, #1: I would fix an original GM fender #2:pony up the $1500 for a NOS one, #3: only as a last resort, go with repro (but you will be breaking spot welds and doing a lot of cutting and filling to get it to fit IMO). 

That bracket is factory welded to the trunk/floor pan.  If your pans have been replaced, it might have been lost. I don't think it is reproed. Used market would be your only choice, sorry. 

Yes, filled with ATF and has a drilled cyl between springs to help with cowl shake on verts.  You need them, keep them and restore with car. Very expensive to replace as they are not reproduced and they are unique to car and year.
