Excellent Yes, Get ready for a long journey post up a thread
Boomer's restoration!

The community has lots of DIY, Vendor and suggestions and samples of completed work.

Yes the LA cars have some details that ARE different than the Normative practices specified in the AIM or done at Nar-Wood

Could that be a white Number "4" on its side?

Let me Guess:

1968 V8 327 250 Timing See:
Chassis Service Manual Chevrolet Specifications Page #10
Timing  4* before

1111150 Application: 327/250 4-bbl

I think YES, I had to Re-drop mine for Gage cluster install and everything below was still attached.

Well, I think "IF" the Chevelle was a L78 - 396 version it would be different situ

Isn't there a vintage long form commercial, of "Doctor No"   Intermediate body spoof commercial
I just laughed and thought that is someone Grandma go go dancing in the cage>?

Another Good show in the Books July 2026

A Good friend recently took the cowl off his March 1969 LA Z11

He did admit to fluffing the orange to firewall Line in the 80s. otherwise as built.

Just another data point

* I often have been wondering if NOR & LA did the wiper transmission arms via different process As When I restored my cowl area on my LA Z11 there was Absolutely NO Orange on any part of the arms located same..<?>

Thanks Guys, I would Love to do this same "OVERHAULING of a 1967 4K"
The 68 is unique, But I really Love the 69Zs that seem to be skyrocketing lately-
I dare to be Different.

YES, Drove it in the Rain to a Vette Show: & Parked with a really good Maro Friend.

Were the Stamped Tags in time with the dreaded Rear Bulkhead chalk marks also?

Wrapped it up. Technically JULY 2025.
Couple of Sea trials issues as are had with all fresh restorations, few thing to come apart in Winter 2026-2027.

Fun shot on WA HWY #302 today.

This is lifted from the service note:

Re. the Bypass; Who's to say What that intake (Manifold) is even? & thus the lack of the proper bypass configuration- If you study this entire Car it really has many-many Major things wonky in my mind- I believe we are able to discuss this since the vehicle is "On the Market" I don't want to be a nit picker and discuss iaw crg.

The PCV Air cleaner hose is currently using a straight fitting vice the proper 90 degree valve cover elbow, so it might be what you are referring to?

It is my contention Mr. Mark at House of Hardware is just using his eBay ad to generate interest and sell via his dealership or he will drag it to a auction for bidding action.

Imagine the List of correctable on Jerry Page 2 & 3 of the report-cert,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mine (LOS 1968 RSSS) look like the Factory pad is just cut for the Brake pedal assy and it then also is therefore clearanced for the RS grommet & Hoses (Repop) installed in 80's

Fixed & Installed.
