Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
FYI, The above 5/8" x 1" oblong hole wheels were only made/used on Jan-early June 70 Z-28's, before changing to 13/16" x 1" holes on late June/July Z's, which stayed through the 1974 Model Year.
It wasnt until the reintroduction of Z-28 in 77' when the ROUND hole wheels came out. Those correct plastic/metal tip air valve extensions are rarely seen on any restored Z-28 Previous picture showed better the RARE 1st design trim ring and very rare high crown stainless jacketed lug nuts. |
Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
When I workd at the Chevy dealer in '70, the 'long' water pumps used in '69-'70 had a very high failure rate. Could explain the clamp on the Z. Just a thought.

Interesting that this car has the 772 fan blade where my auto Z-28 LA built 03B car has the unmarked fan blade.

. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/372838-Picture235.jpg I'm guessing this one got blown up at the subframe at the dealership while the undercoat was still wet.

Ha!..that looks like a real Dill 626 cap.
All your point deductions have just been erased. |

Each area had a dedicated repairman. Anything that wasn't done right could just be tagged and he would fix it while the car was still in the area or more major items could be corrected in repair bays after the rolls test. This was just someone not doing their job. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif The 772 fan and the unstamped fan were functionally equivalent and were interchangeable. All depended on what was in stock in the plant..... |
