L-30 0702EE Tonawanda block in a 07E 68 is cast.

Not just on the chrome covers, but the painted ones as well. I've been a collector of 68 covers. One year only pieces..

Here is what I've found, vintage United Delco. Font and technique is about spot on.

I've been using the real deal Lubriplate. Got a full gallon can years ago from work. Great stuff..

More like Year Fifty.... Ain't nothing remotely close to Day-3....

68 0702EE 07E with 041's.....June 68 cast dates. Very very early..

Steve

Completely understood, I just wanted to be clear that without a doubt, this O7E car came as stated. Pretty close to A final call in 68.

Steve, curious because your 68 is that late of a build, does the core support have the holes for the 69 style condenser?

It has a "68 production run" core support. A/C lines go under the support. It's never been out of the car.

The TSB states 6-19-68. If it was done prior to this date there would be NO reason for the TSB. That's very clear. The service addition is very different from the factory mount in how things are attached. I cant't tell you why the AIM shows one thing, but dated at the tail end of 67, you can bet it didnt happen till later in the model year. Survivor Cars I've documented as late as April had no provisions for any of the seals and baffles. Late June / July do. Surprised nobody has commented on the other link I posted in our Restoration section. We beat this to death back in 2007....

Way too early to have everything....unless it was installed by the service department.
