Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[SS427]

Here is the ground strap that runs from the frame rail to the body mount gusset. This is a reproduction as my original was just too stained but this one was the perfect length and had the correct ends.

Newly restored windshield washer pump, decal and hoses. Also new firewall to engine grounds.

This is a hole that was rudely stamped through he firewall for the tach harness. I am not sure why they did not use one of the other holes unless the pigtail would not reach. The original plug mounted near the accelerator cable had an X pattern cut in it like they were thinking of running a wire through it but the stamped hole is where I found the harness coming through.


Thanks to an sYc member I was able to locate and purchase a correctly ribbed PCV hose. I had one in my inventory for quite some time but of course when I needed it I could not find it.

Several people had mentioned to me that their Chevelle had a staple in the middle of the firewall. Ours did to so it was left alone. In the original photo you can see "RED" spelled out. It too was replaced on the firewall with a grease pencil UNDER the paint as was the original but due to the poor lighting it does not show up in this photo.

My Chevelle has 3 staples across the firewall. Was this done to attach a build sheet or some other document? I've always wondered why those staples were there. Does anyone know the answer?
