Bill, thats what I always heard.. But it could be just some type of sealant that was on the big block gaskets..

Brad, I agree with the others, the teflon tape has to go, you don't need it those fitting will seal just fine w/o it. The battery tag needs to go and it also looked to me like there was a GM sticker on the washer bottle.. I would probably take that off also...

Do you have that hard to find and often misplaced little wire bracket on the very far back, left (drivers side) head that holds the oil pressure wire, if the car was non mechanical gauges and electrical?? I could not see from the picture in there but it looked like it was there holding the blue wire....

Like the battery stamps and the original oil dipstick!!

I would wish you good luck but I don't think you will need it.. You will do great!!

Oh no the GM sticker on the washer bottle has to go funny is all the shows I have been to so far like my washer bottle parts sticker, LOL

So you like my dip stick that was a pain in the arse, if you look at some of my other pictures you will see a repop dip stick, I did have another original dip stick that had the pink tip so what I did was remove the repop dip stick and hammered it into the flat original one that I had and switched out the tips. The hard part was breaking off the shorter dip stick inside the handle of the original pink tip but they are shorter and will not get a correct oil level. Once that was out it was easy switching them out even the cup with gasket comes off.

Yes I do have my original clip that holds the oil pressure wire.
