Re: Need some Critique on my 69
Here is a photo of an untouched, unmolested 69 Chevelle BB engine bay. You can see the bolt and washer size, difference on the upper control arm on the drivers side.. Hope this helps you... Picture is not the greatest...

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
I have seen other unrestoted 69 cars with the big nut on the control shaft that have never been touched. And I have seen the small bolt set up as well.
I even talked to a few other people that have seen this as well. I have a set being sent to me from John Watts.

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
I've always said, just when you think you have it down, along comes something to prove you wrong.. Just like you said, you have seen it both ways.. Whatever was on the assembly line that day is what the worker used.. Sometimes you see some odd stuff that was used and is original..

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
The Delco Morane stamping on the power boosters I have seen are all over the board. From very faint stampings to none at all. I have also seen the DM logo in the 2 o'clock position on unmolested low mile cars. While, not typical, they are made that way. Just like the differences in font size in the date and application code. Just to many variables during the model year to say it could only be one way. Also the pinch clamps on the PCV valve should have squared off ends. The kind that rip your finger's open square. Later style pinch clamps used a rounded end. Much more finger friendly..BKH

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
I have never seen any large nut shafts on any survivors or cars that I've known going back almost 40 years. Those large nut shafts were swapped out many times in the 1970s for added front end alignment adjustments.
Now that these cars are 40 years old, it's almost impossible to document one unless it's an original owner car or two owner car. Jerry

Re: Need some Critique on my 69
Joe,
