Need some Critique on my 69

[mockingbird812]

guess I need some more learnin'. Always thot the "Delco Moraine" was upside down and on the driver's side on the originals.

Standing by for education !



BTW, your engine bay looks fantastic Brad!

Sam,

That is correct for 1969. The DM should be in the 8:00 position looking at the booster, standing in front of the car.

I always thought that the Silver Gaskets were for Engines with Chrome Valve covers.....The Silver made them less visable...........

I believe the upper control arm shafts are supposed to have a 3/8-24 bolt on the ends, not nuts.

Are the screws that hold the wire gutter to the firewall supposed to be hex head or phillips head like I think I see?

Other than the minor stuff, it looks great Brad.

I worked at a well known Chevy dealer back in the early 1970s and the GM BB gaskets were silver as far back as I can remember. The originals were very cheap and brittle.

Even my '66 L72 in the Vette has silver gaskets.

Chris I am going to the going to the AACA show in Lakeland FL in Feb. we should hook up while their, Also did you know their is another show on Feb 2 at Old Town by Ecklers its a 1000 point show.
I bought my car from the original owner and my car had the bolt on upper control arm nuts on it and the original owner said it was that way when he bought it new.
My car was built in Baltimore 2nd week 1969. I have also seen another car that was built 100 cars down the line with the same upper shaft nuts.
Might have been the plant ran out of the other shafts so they slapped a set of OBP uppers on a bunch of cars not to stop production?
I will look up Ricks for the correct oil cap.

[Bad Brad]

Is this the correct oil cap from Ricks Item# RC-98
From the picture on his site I cant see the S rivet?
