I've been searching for a rearend for my 1969 Z28, I've come across one, it has a casting date of D-28-9 and a production date of 0702G2 BU. My cars motor is stamped August 25th and the build date on my vin tag is 091 (09A). I wanted to ask the members if this would work for my car. Thanks

Just checked my block, it has a casting date of August 22nd of 69.

After rechecking those heads the dates are H 15 and H 18, I'm hoping these dates are okay for my August 25 th motor. What is the rule of thumb for date coded engine parts ( such as heads)? How close can you get to the engine pad date? Any help is appreciated , thanks.

Thanks

I'm looking at a set of 3927186 heads on ebay, the casting dates are H 14 9, my engine pad reads H 25 9. Would these dates be okay for my engine or are they too close?

Does this site have any posts on bolt marking?

I have a 1969 chevy Z28 Camaro and I'm looking to replace the bolts on my water pump and alternator bracket bolts. What kind of marking should the bolts have.

Thanks so much for all the info

I'am assuming the number 1 is supposed to be a letter A , 1st week of Sept. , the cars engine pad reads Aug. 25th. I've never seen a tag stamped like this and it is good to hear that other members have seen this stamp.     I've talked to a couple of the early owners of my car and they recall a crossram set up on it , neither one is the very 1st owner so I have no proof of a factory crossram setup,  but would this unusual tag stamping coincide with something they might have done to donote a crossram car?

What do you think about the tag Kurt?

I  can't get a picture of the cowl tag to load on this site, any suggestions?

i need to ask the CRG members a question about my Z28, on my Cowl Tag my build date reads 091, shouldn't it read a number followed by a letter "a-e". Its a late 69 build, was there a change in stamping on the cowl tags for the new production year? I know its a 69 but was this how 70 cowl tags were done . I was wondering if someone can shed some light on this.

I live in Toledo, Ohio ( northwest), I own a 1969 hugger orange Z

Found a 1969 Alt dated 9H21 for sale, my engine pad is stamped 9H25, is this too close? Should I be looking for something a week before the 25th or two weeks before the 25th? Just not sure and wanted to ask the CRG members, thanks.

My Z28 is a early Sept. 69 car, I was recently told my car did not get a 1111480 distributor, it is supposed to have a 2003 distributor. It was explained to me that because it was a late car that is why I have trouble finding a 480 dist. with a july or august date. Is this correct? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
