I see no problem here..

I replaced mine with a GMPP 383/425 crate engine.

A bench grinder sure helped me out, when I went thru this.

I painted mine with semi-gloss and never gave it much thought.

LA built Z's did not have an "X" code.

If you don't find a vac. leak try richening the idle mixture adjustment.

Has anyone else noticed that Mecum and BJ almost always go to a commercial when a 1st Gen. Camaro can be seen coming up to the block?

I would contact Moser Engineering.  They will build a rear end to your specs.  I had them build me one for Camaro project I was doing about 15 years ago.  They were very reasonable then.  I would contact them for a quote.

I played with resistors to get my gauge to read more accurately.  I drained the tank and added 9 measured gallons of gas, then added resistors of varying value to the wire going to the sender until the gauge read half full.  Hope this helps. Dave

Interesting.... My "69 is 124379L519275  01D
Possibly same day production?

Looks like a bolt for mounting the alternator.  I seem to remember they use a stud with a spacer in '68.  In '69 the alternator was mounted on the opposite side with a large bracket that cover the top of the alternator.   

If you can find someone to make you a set in 3/8" tubing you won't have the gas leak problems that most of the 5/16" sets have.

The front grille appears to be black.  Since it is not an RS it should be silver.

If you have upgraded to a Tru-Trac geared posi. A std.80w90 is all you need.  I'm using Valvoline's 75w90 with no issues.

What is the complete "CE" number stamped on the pad?  The first digit after "CE" should be the year of the warranty replacement.
