08D Partial VIN by the oil filter.

Yip.  I have seen exactly that issue before.  I blamed it on bellhousing misalignment.  We'll see after the next teardown.

Jerry is the answer.  Good turnaround and fantastic results.  Impressed.

By the way, that M-Code block is from a very early '69--386 block.  What is funny is that a very early car is VIN stamped by the oil filter.

M-Code

I have one.  Use the dial indicator.  Not quick and easy, far more accurate.  That's all I have to say about that.

Typo?  1969 Camaro vins start at 500001, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong.....If I use the lower plates and shocks from a 69, all should be happy with the world?  The car is already on multi leaf springs, but currently non staggered setup.  I really hate traction bars.  302 (not real) and Tremec falling in this weekend.  Thanks.  Dave

Kurt--Tried to post pic, it got mad.  July 24 68 I believe.  If not I will correct in later post.  When it denied my photo it said somehting along the lines "cannot find path" or something like that.  I've posted pics before, did I do something wrong?  Dave

Didn't want to waste the time and money on a junk carb.  I measure with a precision hand drill bit set that never gets chucked.  Very accurate through .039 then it it goes fractional, so really close is what you get.  Thanks Vintage.  Dave

Came from a guy who ran it on an old 396 part time drag car.  From other examples of his handy work, I want to be sure.  Biggest concern is I want it for a 302 that is quite close to stock Z/28 specs, I know they worked very well, and I have it laying there just begging to be used.  Dave

If you don't mind the stiffness, send it to a good alignment shop and have them re-arched.  Dave

I need to verify that a 4053 DZ carb is unmolested.  Does any body out there have the specs on idle feed restrictor and air bleed sizes?

What is the best spray can product for 60% gloss black?  If not a perfect product, the best compromise?  Dave
