Any one help me out,with some 69 L88 Vette pic's?

TC,

These aren't the best examples, but they'll get you started until I can find something in my own photo collection that's a little higher quality.

The data plates for the 1969 L-88s and ZL-1s were a bit different than the rest of the engines in that they didn't include the compression, horsepower, or torque figures... Just "427 CUBIC INCHES L88" (or ZL1 as the case may be).



The center instrument cluster was basically the same as any other non-air conditioned '69 Corvette built... The L-88s did not have radios so a block off plate will be in that location.

Thanks Stan
The second shot,helps quite a bit on getting an idea of the correct shape...and also to see how the block off plate for the radio looks.
Have any idea,what the square lights and button,that are on each side of the gauges,say on them?
The data plate information,is pretty useful too,not to mention the octane warning sticker...I better put that on the car too

TC, if you did not get the pictures you needed E-Mail me and I will take some for you.

I've got a few pics of the Ogle car..what's the html for posting them in the discussion?
Also, my browser says "HTML is OFF" will that be a problem?

[TC]

No problem on HTML being off,what ya do,is use UBB code.
It's pretty easy,just put "" before the link,and "" after the link,with no spaces...and minuse the " ".
And to post a picture,directly to the board,just substatute the url,for IMG.

Also,while I'm thinking of it....840 castings,sound right for an L88?

Depending upon what year L-88, it could be 3904392 (1967), 3919842 (1968-early 1969), or 3946074 (late 1969)... The "840" heads were never used on a production L-88 to the best of my knowledge.

The 3919840 heads were the high performance cast iron units used on such engines as the L-71, L-72, and L-78.
