This is stuff that I have always assumed a prior had done to a car when I saw this stuff but the story of this car is pretty solid. And Norman already said he never bothered to go back to the dealer to get the missing mirror so I doubt if they did it at any time after he bought the car. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/388832-tn_006.JPG

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

I'm really surprised you reinstalled that oil filter.
I would've put on a dependable store bought filled with Risolene,then shortly remove it & throw it away on as it will probably have some serious particles and crap in it after you start it up a lil more...You are going to excercise it a lil more,aren't you?..You could even cut the store bought in half to get a good idea what the engines like inside afterwards.
Keep the original filter in the glove box or console,or reinstall it for a special showing,as your's and Dons are probably the only two left in the real world today.

I was for you keeping the undercoating on too,but after seeing the brilliance and originality in that oil filter,I've changed my mind completely.
I'm siding with Shauger & vote for removing it all to see what other Van Nuys assembly questions she's waiting to answer.

If I don't cut a filter apart I have nothing to worry about.

Under coating will come off with Mineral Spirits or even WD-40, and the paint will not be affected.

I prefer mineral spirits, but the ? was what Charley used to clean the filter and it was lacquer thinner https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

That is the correct assembly line filter. Brian Caudell used to reproduce them, they had the right B/W screening on the side but were not correctly embossed on the bottom. It is good to finally see the real one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Cool to finally see one of these originals.

Is Brian still reproducing them?

Any chance of getting a square picture with a horizontal and vertical ruler for reference for the right, center and left?

Thanks,
Greg

John: would the "downstream" guys re-balance the wheel after applying the weights @ the grease blob, or just assume the first guy fed them the correct weights?

[/ QUOTE ]

The guys applying the weights sat right next to the roller conveyor where the wheel/tire came by horizontally. They had color-coded bins of weights between them and the conveyor, and when the wheel/tire stopped in front of them, a colored light came on (in addition to the colored wax dot on the tire) that showed them which weight to apply. When they released the wheel/tire after applying the weight, it went directly to the install point on the main line.

If the balance station detected excessive weight required to achieve balance, the conveyor kicked that wheel/tire out and sounded a buzzer for repair. A repairman then took the out-of-spec wheel/tire to a stationary mounter, broke it down, rotated the tire 180* on the wheel, re-inflated it, re-balanced it, and sent it to the line.

I believe Brian Caudell got out of the reproduction parts business a number of years ago.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

That's right. I tried to get some of the assembly line look alikes around 1997 from him and it was already getting tough to get any product then. As I recall He was taking PF-25's stripping the blue off doing a white repaint and then sending them out to a screen shop for the Black imprinting.

Filters were still obvious repops, but at a glance-good enough. I suppose you could do a one off with a correct NOS embossed filter but that would be $$$.$$ easy when you are all done.

Chickened out on leaving the orig oil and filter on the car, drained the oil and changed the filter. Obvious from paint on edge of drain plug gasket that pan was painted with plug installed. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/390602-002.JPG

This is cool just because...This is where the top alternator bracket bolts to the water pump. There is a piece of wire going thru the bolt hole. There was probably a tag on it at one time. Looks like they just screwed the bolt into the hole with the wire still in it. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/390626-040.JPG

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

This is it coming out the back of the hole . It still has orange paint on it. I'm thinkin this is a big points deduction. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/390627-042.JPG

Charley all the undercoats pics brings a smile to my face, when I worked at the dealer we had a old guy Clint and he did them like that, you for sure got your $150 undercoat job with him,

in his defense I asked about his job one time and ribbed him about it, the machine he used was from the 50's, he said when you pulled the trigger on the machine you better be moving fast and know where the gun was aimed, it was a hokey looking knozzel like a small air gun and it did really lay down a wide swath of black goo when you hit it and it was allot of the black goo taboot, must have been the same machine and his brother doing it back there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Hey Charley, how bout the alternator. Can't recall if you posted pics of it yet. Curious about the date on that. Thanks..

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

No. Haven't taken the bracket off so it is hard to see.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

Nice white paint highlight on the Rad.tag.
Does the mounting end of your fan clutch stalk have any black paint on it/around on it?
Interesting how the W/P pulley mounting face has bare metal showing under it.

I know what you mean about those old machines. My 70 Charger had the extra $50 undercoat job done by the dealer before delivery. The entire bottom of my car, from one end to the other, is covered in a 1/4 inch thick layer of that petrified Labrea Tar Pits goo.

My unrestored/original '69Z was sold new in Toronto, and got the same dealer undercoating - it's all still there; I only worked the prop valve in the photo to verify the date.
