Do you mean the radiator upper and lower steel tank support ends that's part of the radiator itself, or the radiator support panel?

It's the part that goes from fender to fender. The radiator, battery tray, horn relay, & voltage regulator attach to it....Joe

I did find a date coded core support with 20. No dimples. Week 20 was the start of May 13th, 1968....Joe

I checked mine & the key buzzer & the horns will work together. On short toots, you hear both. Long horn blow, the horns drown out the key buzzer so I'm not 100% sure.....Joe

Never tried. Let me check it out...Joe

Devaned. This will only be for cosmetics.

Once you devain the pump, it you will need to go a little farther with the system. For the tubes you can use 1/4" clevis pins & remove the long tube that goes in the exhaust manifold. The clevis pin goes in the into the tubing. Cut them if you need to. Since the clevis has a flange, it will seat into the exhaust manifold. Next, find a BB that will go into the hose from the carb to the diverter valve. Make sure the BB won't get sucked into the carb. I did this on my 396 when it had 83k miles. It now has 158k with no problems.....Joe 

Was it ever determined when dimples started showing up on the top of the radiator core support? Thank you, Joe

The original part number was 3871174. I tried that number on e-bay and all the ones showed were wrong. I next tried "ss wheel cover". There's a bunch of listings, but you have to make sure to get the correct style. It looks like pits can be a real problem with the centers. You might also try "ss hub caps" for a search. Here's a picture I got from CRG's site. It should help your quest.....Joe

You can't run ads here, but you can try E-bay. You could run an ad on the Yenko site. I like your decision for wheel cover. It just says SS in the center. Not just a Camaro cover. I've seen lots of pictures of Chevelles with them.....Joe

TDL could be

1972 307 2BBL automatic

1980 350 4 BBL automatic

Not with an 010 block. That's a 4" bore casting. The 307 is smaller bore & wouldn't use that block. I almost said the same thing....Joe

I see TDL listed as a 1980 350 4 brl for a C20. 155 hp.....Joe

Early 1968....Joe

Normative Practice was Semi-gloss Black. Over the years the DOT3 fluid dripped and removed a lot of the Delco/Bendix as built paints.

Correct & they were machined after painting....Joe

Yes, that is correct although all 3 years were different. The "arm burner" chrome was 1968 only....Joe

They're real as far as I can tell. On repops the spiral groove isn't as deep as those......Joe

Option Z21, Style trim group, for 1968 included upper belt moldings, wheel lip moldings, & rain gutter moldings (except converts)

Option Z22, Rally Sport Equipped, includes Z21....Joe
