what's interesting to me....is the car # VN273041,  L525318,  02C  secret VN # Q141, is a very near sister to my car, VN273188, L525389, 02D  Q236......so I guess im asking were they built 1 week apart  I.E. Friday  3rd week and then Monday 4th week? 

Well mine just came today, built in Van Nuys FEB. 26th 1969   dealer code 147 zone 20......to Davies Chevrolet inc. Glendora Calif. < anybody know of this dealership. Thanks Gordonone

 8)it sure looks like cortez silver....i have the same color....i looks different ,most likely due to the lighting.

didnt Van nuys build another 1008 cars in june and july, even though thats not many.

im only 3 weeks away with 02D  Van nuys built, just curious as why?  your interested in just 02A cars?   Gordon

try using the PF35 oil filter its slightly larger than the PF25......thats called out for most small blocks.Gordonone

my van nuys built is also 02D  mine does not have a gasket either.

Beautiful, perfectly stock, love it....i have mine the same way.....a little dirtier , but the same.....am i to assume youre going to put the correct D90 Hockey stripe on??? i dont know how many SS"s i see with Z/28 ,pace car stripes....I know to each his own, but stock from the factory, is the best way. Gordon

As dave69 said, i too worked  aero-space all my life.....and walnut shells are what we used on everything from turbine blades to hyd. cyclinders etc. plus, we had a Vapor Degreaser, and nothing cleans like a vapor degreaser......miss MEK, and Tricholoethylene, Gordon

thanks, guys....im sure not looking forward to it....but yes youre  right....i would want it to stay all factory......i know its something like 44,737 69 camaros came with a/c that year.....thats not many ....compared to the 243,000 +  cars.....i always think to myself why or whom (dealer) would have ordered  this car......it has a/c,  tilt wheel, rear window de-fogger......but has standard interior with  at least the Z23 special interior group....this car is by the way a SS    L48  thm 350  standard 12 bolt non-posi.........cortez silver black vinyl top, rear spolier.....i guess what i mean is.....the price for the a/c.....could have bought the RS option and deluxe interior......strange how some things work.....but thanks again   Gordon

okay youre right.i did forget  ......124379L525389       block  pad  TO208HB  L525389     VN273188   tr711   69 B pnt  02D    and the secert Van Nuys code  Q236......................thanks.... Gordon

How hard is it to replace the heater core in a 69 factory air car?.......should i just remove the whole system ? and if  i do, i heard the fender has to come off   the system has not worked since 1984.......the compressor is off the dryer etc, etc, so.....is it worth the trouble and $$$$$ money to get it back to factory. thanks any info most appeciated, Gordon

well since we are SPINNING the wheel any info   on 12437 L525389  02D,  Gordon

thank you, much Gordon

 As i removed the gas tank, i accidently ripped  the wire, ? (ground wire) ? can this be soldered back on ?
