Does someone sell that Speedo Cable Clip or is there a company that reproduces them?
I have never seen one before.

Here is a NOS clip I ordered 20 years ago,I got the last 2 left in the parts system at that time.
This part number was from the 69 chevelle assembly manual.

Nice!

Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details
 

That is a heavy duty part.
Would that 3763183 GM part be correct for a 1970 or 1969 as it is different than the clip DL shows from a previous post.
What does the AWT stamp mean?

This one kind of looks more like the custom one i ended up making myself that i show in a previous post.

"AWT" is probably the manufactures intials/stamp.

wow, that is solid. The Buick one is spring steel. And a little different. Prob could work in a pinch though.

After setting the timing right and re-tuning the carb, today i finally went for a ride with my car to a cruise and plan to put a lot of miles on the rebuilt motor.

Just wanted to say Thank You to many people here on this forum that really helped me along the build of my motor with opinions/phone calls/private emails and actually working on my parts.

Special thanks to Eric at (Vintagemusclecar)

Here are a couple of photos of the exhaust.
1969 Chevelle Chambered GM Mufflers were used.
A bit on the loud side,
i may change them or try adding the Resonators on the back but for now i will have to be a pain in the a@@ for the neighbourhood.
The company that did the Exhaust work &quot;Master Performance&quot; told me to use Flowmaster 50's to make it sound just right, they also said the Flowmaster 40's would be to loud for my LS6.
I think i will enjoy what i have on for now and decide next year if i should change the mufflers. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

A member here sent me photos of my car today at the very first Cruise-In right after we set the timing right off my driveway that night on June 14 2012 at 7:30 P.M. Car now has 400 miles since the re-build and all is going well.

My buddy Peter gave me a cigar to celebrate the occasion,(Photos courtesy of my friend Jim) Photos show crowd around the car and one of me proudly standing by the car with a mini cigar.

Thank you for the Photos Jim and Peter Thanks for the Mini Cigar [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...h_2012_046.jpg
